<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 4296540, member: 51347&quot;]I believe there is a minimal Duty levied over values of approx $7,750 USD at around 0.275%.&nbsp; I would have to go into the HTS Codes again to determine, but I remember when I received in some larger shipments, the Duties levied corresponded to the rates that I had researched for that time.&nbsp; Perhaps, the laws have changed again (Duties change all the time)</p><p><br /></p><p>Passing thought:&nbsp; I mentioned that UPS and FedEx fall under different transortation laws in the US.&nbsp; UPS falls under Railway Laws and Regs, FedEx fall under Air Transportation Laws and Regs.&nbsp; This was important when we were shipping hazardous materials labeled under ORM-D regs.&nbsp; I wonder if there are individual classification interpretation of the HTS Codes that affected the two carriers.&nbsp; Additionally, FedEx may had INTERPRETED HTS Codes, perhaps being more conservative, and implementing the above Duties.</p><p>I know we (companies) were able to to interpret various HTS Classes to determine Duties.&nbsp; Some had a 15% swing in duty rates for similar items!&nbsp; We would also apply for Rulings to ensure we were Tarriffed at correct (read that lower) rates if there were questions.&nbsp; Many times we produced items that were not specifically classed in HTS Codes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
