Howdy bjb!

It will be necessary for you to provide some more
information before someone can attempt to provide
an accurate answer for you.

- What is (please be very specific) the product?

Different products, especially raw materials have different
duties/tariffs, etc. charges.

- What quantities are you looking at importing?

A change in quantities can change the charge percentages.

- Does it matter through which entry point it is brought?

If brought through some entry points, you might have an
opportunity to store some of the product where you might
be able to defer some of the duties until you actually use
the product.

Any other details you can provide will help.

Thanks!  denco-ga
