🔍 Customs Information – What to Expect

Since the end of the $800 de minimis exemption (August–September 2025), all U.S. imports may be subject to duties, depending on Customs classification.

Under DAP, these charges are paid by the customer upon delivery.

Use of HTS 9801.00.10.74 – U.S. Goods Returned

Whenever possible and when the conditions are met, we include on the commercial invoice the customs provision:

HTS 9801.00.10.74 — U.S. Goods Returned
(Returning American goods, originally made in the USA and re-imported without having undergone further processing.)

This classification can significantly reduce or eliminate import duties for eligible vacuum tubes.

Eligibility always depends on U.S. Customs inspection and acceptance.

• Clear product description
  “Vacuum tubes, for audio equipment – vintage, tested”
