Customer Reviews
The note on verifying the use of safety locks for industrial purposes was very helpful. It clarified how the classification might differ based on the lock’s function.
The summary table of tax rates was a great addition. It made it easy to compare the different HS codes and their total tax rates after April 11, 2025.
The information on HS Code 8301700000 for password lock keys was incredibly useful. The note about whether the key is sold separately or as part of a set was exactly what I needed for my import planning.
The data is accurate, but the page is a bit cluttered. It took me a while to parse through all the tax rates and HS codes to find what I needed.
The 66.5% tax rate for zipper locks caught me by surprise. I had no idea it was so high, and the note about checking if it's classified under a different category was spot-on.
