Customer Reviews
The information on post-April 2025 tariffs was really timely. I was planning to export book rings and this is critical to my cost calculation.
The table with HS codes and tariff rates is very helpful, but I wish there was a way to filter by material or function directly on the page.
The breakdown of 7326903500 for containers was eye-opening. I had no idea that could apply to a book ring.
The section on material composition was really useful. It made me realize I need to check the material of the book ring before finalizing the HS code.
I found the explanation of the 37.5% tariff rate on 4901990070 very clear. Perfect for calculating import costs for book rings.
