This document provides a breakdown of the customs classification and duty rates for items declared as "HAWAIIAN GLASSES" based on the provided HS codes. Please review carefully to ensure accurate import compliance.
Understanding HS Codes

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.
