• Post 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the additional tariffs coming into effect after April 2, 2025.
• Provide More Details: If possible, provide more information about the tape's construction, adhesive type, and intended use. This will help me narrow down the most accurate HS code.
• Check with Customs: It's always best to confirm the correct HS code with your local customs authority before importing. They can provide a binding ruling.
• Certifications: Depending on the application of the tape (e.g., medical, food contact), you may need specific certifications.
