⚠️ Important Notes and Alerts
- April 11, 2025 Special Tariff: All listed products are subject to an additional 30.0% tariff after April 11, 2025. This is a critical date for customs clearance planning.
- Anti-Dumping Duties: Not explicitly mentioned in the data, but it's advisable to check for any anti-dumping or countervailing duties specific to PBT or similar polymers.
- Material Verification: Confirm the exact chemical name and structure of the product (e.g., polybutylene terephthalate) to ensure correct HS code classification.
- Certifications: Ensure compliance with any import certifications or technical specifications required by the importing country.
✅ Proactive Advice for Importers
- Verify Product Composition: Confirm the exact chemical name and structure of the product (e.g., PBT) to ensure correct HS code classification.
- Check Unit Price and Quantity: Tariff calculations depend on the unit price and quantity, so ensure these are accurately reported.
- Review Certification Requirements: Some polymers may require safety, environmental, or quality certifications for import.
- Plan for April 11, 2025: If your shipment is scheduled after this date, be prepared for an additional 30.0% tariff.
