The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the turbine's total power rating exceeds 10,000 kW and have technical documentation (e.g
• datasheets) ready to substantiate classification
• Verify if the turbine is part of a complete hydroelectric generating set, which may affect classification
• Consult a customs broker for potential duty relief programs if used in renewable energy projects
