Okay, let's break down the HS codes and tax implications for your declared "SOAP BOX" and related items. I'll provide a structured analysis to help you understand the classifications and potential costs.
Important Note: "SOAP BOX" is a very broad description. The HS codes assigned here depend heavily on the material and intended use of the boxes. I'm assuming these boxes are related to packaging or holding soap, but please verify these codes are accurate for your specific products. Also, the 2025.4.2 tariff changes are important to keep in mind.
