Tariffs

How would you explain a duty increase to a customer without guessing?

What's a useful response when the customer asks why this shipment's customs bill is higher than the last one?

  1. Compare the entry lines before reaching for a policy headline. Product mix, value, origin and classification may explain part of the difference.
  2. I'd separate government charges from broker or carrier fees. Customers often receive one invoice and reasonably assume every line is a tariff.
  3. Show the relevant notice or assessment and say which part still needs confirmation. A clear partial answer beats a confident explanation that later needs undoing.
