Product Description: Candles, tapers and the like

🔍 Tariff Breakdown (as of current regulations):

• Base Tariff Rate: 0.0%
• Additional Tariff (General): 7.5%

⚠️ Time-Sensitive Policy Alert:

• Additional Tariff of 30.0% applies after April 11, 2025.
• This is a special tariff imposed by the customs authority, and it will significantly increase the import cost.
• If your import is scheduled after April 11, 2025, be prepared for a 30% additional duty on top of the base and general tariffs.

📌 Key Considerations for Importers:

• Verify the material composition of the candles (e.g., paraffin, soy, beeswax, etc.) – this may affect classification or require additional documentation.
• Check the unit price and total value of the goods, as customs may apply different valuation rules.
• Certifications required: Depending on the destination country, you may need to provide certifications such as:
• Safety standards (e.g., flame resistance, non-toxic materials)
• Environmental compliance (e.g., REACH, RoHS)
• Customs valuation documents (invoice, packing list, etc.)

📌 Proactive Advice:

• Plan your import timeline carefully – avoid scheduling shipments after April 11, 2025, if possible, to avoid the 30% special tariff.
• Consult with a customs broker or trade compliance expert to ensure full compliance with all regulations and to minimize unexpected costs.
• Review the HS code classification with a customs authority or expert to confirm that 3406000000 is the correct code for your specific product.
