Customer Reviews
The image examples are a nice touch! It's helpful to visually see what kind of cards these HS codes apply to. And the warning about the tariff changes post-April 2, 2025 is a great heads-up. I’ll be checking back before then.
I appreciate the 'Important Considerations' section – the note about material composition being key is a really good point. It's easy to overlook that when you're just thinking about the card itself. The 37.5% tariff for 4911.10.00.80 is good to know.
The breakdown of HS codes 4909.00.20.00 and 4909.00.40.00 was very useful, particularly the detailed explanations of what each one covers. I do wish there were more examples of what constitutes 'other' for 4909.00.40.00 though.
Really helpful to have the tariff rates so clearly laid out for dried flower greeting cards going to the US. I was especially glad to find the 6702906500 HS code, it saved me a lot of research time!
