Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - USA tariffs that apply to import of ethnographic items.

I have currently spent untold hours on this matter, & I have tested it as well as I am able.

I have looked at the legal issues involved in the affixation of tariffs & most especially at the affixation of tariffs applied to HTS code 9705 (& extensions).

I have reached certain conclusions that I do not wish to comment on here.

I have had my conclusions reviewed by two lawyers whose business it is to understand international trade law, & those gentlemen have agreed with my conclusions.

I think that for the moment any shipping of the type of things that we discuss in these forums is off the table, insofar as USA is concerned.

Hopefully sanity will prevail eventually, but until it does, it is perhaps best to simply be patient.
