Hi Bill,
You have got the HTS code of container homes, you could visit this site and call them directly for accurate information about the import tariff:https://www.usitc.gov/harmonized_tariff_information. Because tariffs and policies of the USA change in real time, I can’t give you a definitive answer as to whether your products will be subject to an additional 25% tariff.

Hi Mel,
Sorry for the late reply, there is no tariff for goods with a declared value of less than US$800 to the United States, and it also doesn’t matter who owns the business.

YES, Mel, there is no tariff for goods with a declared value of less than US$800 to the United States, and your goods will be shipped to your door as usual.

So anything under $800 doesn’t get charged anything except for what they wholesaler charged? If I order goods from China, one shipment for $180 and another for $290 for pet supplies, will I be charged anything extra besides what I paid the wholesaler? Since the price is low and the business is under my name, I assume I won’t be charged anything extra, my shipment won’t be held up, and it’ll be shipped to my door as usual?

No problem, Xindan Li.

And thank you for the advice!

Yes, you need someone who is professional to help you with things like that, which makes you convenient and at ease. Sorry again for my late reply.

Thank you, Xindan Li.

I contacted a customs clearance broker in California. He will be handling the shipment, forms, paperwork, etc. He already filed my ISF form and told me not to worry. He said he will be in touch with me when the trailer arrives at the Los Angeles port from Shanghai.

Hey friend,
Don’t listen to “someone”. You should check the customs website of your country. And consult with the forwarder in your country for the exact information. I am not clear about your products and customs rules, so I am sorry that I cannot give you practical suggestions.
