1. Sunglasses (HS Code: 9004.10.00.00)

• 10: Sunglasses. This narrows down the classification to sunglasses.
• 00: Further specification – in this case, generally indicating all sunglasses.

Duty Rates:

• Basic Duty: 2.0%
• Additional Duty (Tariff): 7.5%
• Additional Duty (Tariff) - Post April 2, 2025: 30%
• Total Duty: 39.5%

Important Notes:

• The 30% additional duty will be applied starting April 2, 2025.
