*Some codes carry a specific or compound duty (e.g. per-kg) that can't be valued from price alone. Estimates use USITC general, FTA-preference & Section 301 rates plus CBP fees (MPF 0.3464%, HMF 0.125% on ocean). FTA preference requires meeting rules-of-origin, and AD/CVD duties are not included — verify with a licensed customs broker before sourcing.
