Customer Reviews
I was looking for the HS code for smoke detectors and found exactly what I needed. The total tax rate breakdown was very useful for my export planning.
The table was easy to read, and the breakdown of the tax rates made it clear how much I'd be paying. I wish the product descriptions were a bit more detailed, though.
I needed to export smoke detectors to the US and this page had everything I needed. The proactive advice section was especially useful for verifying product details.
The information was there, but I found the repetition of the same HS codes a bit confusing. Still, it was better than searching through multiple sources.
The key notes section was a lifesaver. I didn't know the 30% additional tariff was coming after April 11, 2025, and this page made me aware of it.
