- Chapter (First 2 digits): Broad category of the product.
- Heading (First 4 digits): More specific grouping within the chapter.
- Subheading (First 6 digits): Further refinement of the product.
- Additional Digits: Country-specific details.

- Value Thresholds: Be mindful of value thresholds (like the $0.20/dozen for imitation jewelry).
- April 2, 2025 Tariff Changes: The additional tariffs are scheduled to increase significantly on April 2, 2025. Factor this into your planning.
- Country of Origin: Confirm the country of origin for each component, as this impacts tariff rates and potential trade agreements.
- Certifications: Depending on the components (especially toys and garments), you may need certifications like safety testing reports (e.g., for toys) or origin certificates.
- Consult a Customs Broker: For complex shipments or if you're unsure about classification, it's highly recommended to consult a licensed customs broker in your destination country. They can provide expert guidance and ensure compliance.
