• This is a time-sensitive policy and may significantly increase import costs.

• Anti-dumping duties:
  Not applicable for this product category (water filter cartridges), as anti-dumping duties typically apply to iron and aluminum products, not filtration parts.

📌 Proactive Compliance Advice

• Verify the product's function and material:
  Ensure the filter is intended for liquid purification (e.g., water) and not for gas or dust collection, which would fall under different HS codes.

• Check the unit price and classification:
  If the filter is sold as a standalone unit, it may be classified under 8421290065 or 8421210000. If it's a component, 8421990140 may be more appropriate.

• Certifications required:
  Depending on the destination country, you may need to provide product certifications (e.g., CE, NSF, or FDA) to ensure compliance with local regulations.

• Monitor tariff changes:
  Keep track of the April 11, 2025 deadline to avoid unexpected cost increases due to the special tariff.

✅ Summary of Key Actions

• Confirm the exact function and material of the water filter cartridge.
