• Check if any certifications (e.g., origin, environmental compliance) are required for import.

📌 Proactive Advice:

• Double-check the product form and processing before finalizing the HS code.
• Monitor the April 11, 2025 deadline for potential tariff increases.
• Consult with a customs broker if the product is part of a larger shipment or if there are multiple classifications involved.
