Customer Reviews
The detailed breakdown of HS Code 7325.99.50.00 was very informative. I now understand the high duty rate and the importance of material composition.
The page had a lot of good information on HS codes and tariffs. I especially liked the part about lead content and phthalates for children's products.
I found the note about the 30% additional duty after April 2, 2025 really helpful. The analysis for HS Code 9503.00.00.71 was spot on.
The 7325.99.50.00 section had a lot of technical terms, but it was still useful. I wish there were more examples of cast iron/steel products in the table.
The 4823.90.10.00 HS code explanation was clear and included the 55% duty rate. This helped me understand the costs of exporting paper products.
