-
Special Tariff after April 11, 2025 (30%):
- This is a time-sensitive policy. If your import is scheduled after April 11, 2025, this 30% additional tariff will apply.
-
This is likely related to U.S. trade policies or anti-dumping measures.
-
Anti-dumping duties:
- Not explicitly mentioned here, but cotton is a sensitive commodity. Ensure you are not importing dumped or subsidized cotton from countries with anti-dumping duties in place.
🛑 Critical Actions to Take
- Verify the exact product description:
-
Confirm whether your cotton fiber is entered pursuant to U.S. Note 6 (which would qualify for 5201002400) or not (which would fall under 5201002800).
-
Check the unit price and total cost:
-
The base tariff can significantly affect your total import cost. For example, 31.4¢/kg is 7.1 times higher than 4.4¢/kg.
-
Review required certifications:
- Ensure your cotton is not classified as perished staple, grabbots, or cotton pickings (excluded from this classification).
-
Confirm origin documentation and compliance with U.S. textile regulations.
-
Monitor the April 11, 2025 deadline:
- If your import is scheduled after this date, you will face an additional 30% tariff. Plan accordingly.
📌 Proactive Advice
- Consult a customs broker or trade compliance expert if you are unsure about the classification.
- Request a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) ruling or Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS)** clarification if needed.
- Keep records of product specifications, origin, and documentation to support your classification.
