Did you get any information on how this was being classified? I'm looking at https://ustr.gov/sites/default/files/enforcement/301Investigations/List%202.pdf and https://ustr.gov/sites/default/files/enforcement/301Investigations/List%201.pdf trying to see what it may fall under. Can you call UPS and find out what tarriff classification this is being hit with? Perhaps this is something we can appeal/change.

See https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2018/07/06/what-if-trump-imposes-even-more-china-tariffs/#5339ebfdad9d as an example: specifically the line "Consumer goods have been avoided for the most part, with a focus instead on industrial components such as PC components ($1.39 billion)" -- I would classify this as a a "consumer good", as it is absolutely not a "pc component".

Also see: https://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/bychapter/index.htm

And: https://dataweb.usitc.gov/scripts/tariff.asp -- which i haven't figured out how to use yet.


If we can find out how it is being classified in HTS, there is maybe hope?
