Not export duties. . . imports.

Duty/Tariff are interchangeable. There are,approximately 20K Harmonized Tariff Schedule codes.

Based on the item you are purchasing - and its country of origin that table is used to determine what the Importer of Record pays.

This is entered into CBP's Automated Customs Entry system by a licensed Customs Broker. In my company's case, our Brokerage pays the tariff and merchandise/port fees on our behalf, and then we remit to them. But - it is entered in the system under our EIN.

So one item might be a plastic component for assembly into a finished good. There's a 3.9% tariff on that.

The Felon is proposing another 10% if the item's Country of Origin is China. So that jumps to 13.9%.

State of Emergency. The Felon floated an External Revenue Service for collection of these new tariffs.


That's not where Tariffs are collected. So WHO will us manufacturers be paying that money to?

Why the Felon of course.

I wish that fucker would die already.
