Import Duty Quick Check

How the optional $29 Import Duty Quick Check works, what it includes, and what it does not decide.

What the Quick Check is

The $29 Import Duty Quick Check is a lightweight, human-prepared planning report for one product and one import route. It is designed for sellers and importers who want a source-backed summary before they place a purchase order, update pricing, or ask a customs broker for final review.

It is not a subscription, customs brokerage service, legal opinion, tax opinion, binding ruling, or final filing decision.

What you submit

The request form asks for:

Email address
Product name or short description
Origin country
Destination country
HS/HTS code, if you already have one
Product value or expected shipment value
Notes such as material, use case, supplier country, Incoterm, or known tariff concerns

If the product description is too vague to support a useful review, the report will say so instead of inventing a confident answer.

What the report includes

A typical Quick Check includes:

Candidate HS/HTS context when enough product facts are available.
Base duty or "needs review" status with source links.
Additional tariff layers to check, such as Section 301, Section 232, Chapter 99, AD/CVD, safeguards, quotas, or exclusions.
A simple landed-cost planning example when the inputs support it.
Official source URLs and retrieval dates.
Open questions to send to a licensed customs broker or trade counsel.

What it does not include

The Quick Check does not:

Classify your product for filing.
Decide final origin, valuation, admissibility, or preference-program eligibility.
Determine AD/CVD scope or exclusion eligibility.
File entries, communicate with customs, or act as importer of record.
Replace your broker, attorney, accountant, or freight forwarder.

When to use it

Use a Quick Check when you need a practical starting point:

Before ordering samples or inventory.
Before comparing China, Vietnam, Mexico, India, or another sourcing route.
Before quoting customers or changing marketplace prices.
Before sending a cleaner question set to your broker.

If you need a binding decision, ask your broker or counsel about official ruling options.
