Largest exporters of this product category — realistic sourcing alternatives (UN Comtrade, 2025):
*Some codes carry a specific or compound duty (e.g. per-kg) that can't be valued from price alone. “Baseline” is the Section 301 forced-labor duty (10%/12.5%, effective Jul 2026; USMCA goods exempt) — rates current as of October 2026. Estimates use USITC general/FTA-preference/Section 301 rates plus CBP fees (MPF 0.3464%, HMF 0.125% on ocean) and exclude Section 232 metals & AD/CVD. FTA preference requires meeting rules-of-origin. Verify with a licensed customs broker before sourcing.
