  1. Ad Valorem TariffAd Valorem Tariff=Commodity Value×Ad Valorem Tariff Rate
    • Commodity Value: The total value of goods in the package (must be ≤ $800).
    • Ad Valorem Tariff Rate: Currently 30% (subject to update based on 2025 policy adjustments).
  2. Specific TariffSpecific Tariff=Fixed Amount per Package

Example Calculation

Scenario: Shipping a $500 commodity to the U.S.
