How to Apply Low Tariff Shipping from China for Your Product
Smart Importing Strategies That Save You Money
Importing goods from China can be a game-changer for Your business but the wrong approach could leave You drowning in unexpected tariffs. If You've ever looked at Your landed costs and thought, "Why am I paying so much in duties?", You're definitely not alone. The good news? With the right knowledge and a few clever strategies, You can legally and effectively reduce the tariffs You pay when bringing goods into the U.S
Here's What You Need To Know To Get Started
1. Understand Product Classification (HTS Codes)
Tariffs are largely determined by how your product is classified under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS).
The problem is, there's not always just one way to categorize a product.
For example, a metal desk organizer could fall under "office supplies" or "household items"
depending on how it's described and used. The difference in tariff rates? Sometimes over 10%.
Quick Tip: Always double-check your HTS code and explore alternative (but truthful and compliant) classifications.

2. Consider Country of Origin Adjustments
This one's often overlooked: if your product is assembled or significantly altered in a third country
before arriving in the U.S., you may be able to change its country of origin thereby lowering or avoiding certain tariffs.
For example, let's say you import textiles from China but finish them in Vietnam.
Depending on how much transformation happens, the product might legally be considered "Made in Vietnam."
This isn't a loophole—it's a legitimate trade strategy. But after 1st April 2025, the shipping and customs situation
has changed dramatically and if You purchase our EBook, we will show You how to apply our stratgey.
3. Leverage Free Trade Agreements FTAs
While China doesn't have a free trade agreement with the U.S., countries like Mexico, Canada, and several Southeast Asian nations do.
You might consider routing your products through these countries for final processing to take advantage of lower duties.
⚠️ Note: This requires specific documentation and compliance, so it’s not for everyone—but it’s incredibly powerful if you can make it work.
