After The Trade War: How To Quickly Check Whether Your Product Is On The US Tax Increase List?

Many American friends still do not know how to inquire about the United States tariff collection list. Today we are going to popularize more comprehensive query skills.

How to inquire about us HTS CODE and import tariff?

The official website of the US International Trade Commission:

Http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/bychapter/index.htm

Enquiries:

1. query HTS CODE: enter the above web site, and enter the first six digits of the Chinese HS HS under the Tariff Assistance Search the current Harmonized Tariff Schedule. The left border of the search results page has a detailed selection.

2. query import tariffs: search page Rates of Duty 1, the left column "General" is the general import tax rate, and the right column "Special" is the US import tax rate imposed on specific countries.

Remind you that when exporting to the US, remember to take the initiative to inquire whether the product has been included in the tax list and take the initiative to contact the US buyer to verify the situation.

Both the DDP clause and the US Amazon operation need to confirm the customs clearance duty in advance.

How do I check whether my product is on the US tariff collection list?

Continue with our previous query of HTS code. For specific products, we can see that there are several columns at "Rates of Duty". Which column should we look at?

The "General" in "1" refers to tariffs from most of the world's imports (including China), and "Special" refers to the import tariffs of countries with relevant FTA countries (often free), but that is not enjoyed by Chinese enterprises.

"2" refers to the import tariffs imposed by special trade countries (such as North Korea) that have no trade relations with the United States.

So we look at the tax rate of "General".

At this time, many people have to ask: "General" tax rate has not changed, did not add 25%, does this mean that the product did not increase taxes?

Please pay attention to whether you have a small "1" behind your "General" and continue to look at the following.

We take the US tax levy "8408.10.00 marine propulsion engine" as an example, demonstrating that the product was included in the first tax increase list of US $34 billion, after which the import tax rate was 2.5% at "General".

But now it follows a "1" display, so let's look at the subtitle of "9903.88.01" again.

Continue to inquire about "9903.88.01" on the web page. Here it is clearly mentioned that the Chinese product of this part is added 25% on the basis of applicable tax rate.

Articles the product of China, as enumerated in U.S. note 20 to note

The duty provided in the applicable subheading plus 25%.

What is "note 20" mentioned in this sentence?

Under the "Chapter" page, I found this note 20, which is an explanation for raising taxes on Chinese products.

It is clearly stated here that 25% is an additional tax rate.

The code under "9903.88.01" is also listed below.

Partial tax number interception

Some friends said: "I checked my product," General "did not bring the" 1 "note, is this tax increase or not?

After a trial, some products did not show a tax increase, but it was on the PDF list. It is suggested that the tariff list be the criterion. In case of the official website of the United States, the data have not been updated yet.

Therefore, it is recommended that we first consult the HTS code in the tariff list to see if the product is in the range of levy; if so, then inquire the tax rate in the official website of the US International Trade Commission (the website mentioned above), or confirm with the ordering buyer whether the product is subject to a tax increase.
