Comment on Does the US charge tariffs on handbags from France?

Thank you for showing me an actual government website. I could not find a government website myself when originally looking for this. But that website is difficult to use and I am still uncertain of what the tariff would be.

One part gives me the impression the tariff would be 100%, the other page says 8% and also 35%. I don’t understand if that’s 8% + 35%.

Either way, I don’t think I want to pay 35% on this handbag, and am considering not making this purchase anymore.

You’re in the wrong part of the USHTS. There are rules called the GRI (General Rules of interpretation) that tell you how to use it, which are much too long-winded to go into. The section you showed is for plastic bags so doesn’t apply. The one I suggested is, as far as I know, correct. The USHTS changes every few months based on Trump’s current mood.

  Thank you for that explanation. Now that you pointed that out, I see you are correct.

  I get that impression. Perhaps I should wait to see if/when Trump is feeling friendlier towards the EU before making any purchases from there.
