- Certifications: Depending on the intended use of the bird feeder (e.g., food contact, outdoor use), you may need specific certifications (e.g., food safety, environmental standards).
- Country of Origin: Ensure you have the correct documentation to support the country of origin for each component, as this impacts tariff rates and trade agreements.
- Consult with a Customs Broker: For complex classifications or high-value shipments, it's highly recommended to consult with a licensed customs broker in your destination country. They can provide expert guidance and ensure compliance with all import regulations.

Customer Reviews
The breakdown of the HS code structure was very helpful. It made it easier to understand how the 7326.90.86.88 code is categorized under iron or steel articles, and the tax implications.
I appreciated the note about verifying the material composition for iron/steel parts. It’s easy to overlook that detail, and this page made it clear why it matters for the tariff rate.
The explanation of the 6914.90.80.00 HS code was spot-on. I was worried about the 60.6% tariff, but now I understand it's for ceramic parts and how it applies to my bird feeder components.
The page had a lot of information, but I found the duplicate HS code entry a bit confusing. I had to double-check the details to make sure I wasn’t repeating anything in my declaration.
The detailed tax information for the 4421.91.88.00 HS code was exactly what I needed. It clarified that the 30% tariff is for bamboo products, which I wasn’t sure about before.
