• Functionality: Is the buckle a simple fastening device, or does it have additional features (e.g., a spring mechanism, decorative elements)?
• Detailed Description: Provide a more detailed description of the curtain buckle to ensure accurate classification.
• Import Regulations: Be aware of any specific import regulations or requirements for curtain buckles in your destination country.
• Post 2025.4.2 Tariffs: The additional duty increases to 30% after April 2, 2025. Factor this into your cost calculations.
• Supplier Documentation: Request a detailed commercial invoice and packing list from your supplier, including material composition and a clear description of the product.
