Import tax is charged whatever the value. ## In other countries National tariff lines under chapter 29 are live on border.bot for the United States (1,227 lines, also used by 1 other country). - [United States](https://border.bot/countries/united-states/hs-codes/29): 1,227 lines, used by 1 other country - [The Harmonized System text for chapter 29](https://border.bot/hs-codes/29) Page 1 of 5: subheadings 1 to 100 of 410.
