Customer Reviews
The details are thorough, but I wish there were more examples of how to determine which HS code applies to specific insole types.
The table summarizing tax rates by HS code was a lifesaver. I can now compare the options easily for my rubber insole exports.
The information on the April 11, 2025 tariff increase was timely and important. Glad I found this before shipping.
Clear breakdown of HS code 6406909000 and its tax rates. Very helpful for understanding general insole classifications.
