Customer Reviews
The page provided a good overview of the different adapter classifications, but I found the technical descriptions a bit overwhelming. Still, it was very informative.
I needed info on power adapters for data processing machines, and the 8504406001 section was exactly what I was looking for. Very well-organized.
The information on the 8536694040 HS code was detailed, but I had to read through a lot of text to find what I needed. A search function would be useful.
The warning about the April 11 special tariff was a lifesaver. I was exporting adapters and didn't know about the 30% increase. Thanks for the heads-up!
The page was very helpful in understanding the difference between 8504406001 and 8504409520. The proactive advice about confirming the intended use was spot on.
