Dear MoPoers,
I need to ship some posters (total value under $800) from Switzerland to the US. As I understand (thank you Helmut), shipment with posters (when value under $800) are exempt from the new US import regulations. As per link given by Helmut, the following TARIC numbers are concerned: Headings 9903.01.22, 9903.01.12, 9903.01.03, and 9903.01.31 describe informational materials, including but not limited to, publications, films, posters, phonograph records, photographs, microfilms, microfiche, tapes, compact discs, CD ROMs, artworks, and news wire feeds. However, the TARIC Code for posters is 4911.9100. Taric code 9903.01.22 is a specific subheading of the United States Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) and refers to information materials produced in China and Hong Kong that are exempt from additional tariffs under certain conditions. Do I miss something? I can’t find any indications that TARIC Code 4911.9100 is exempt from import regulations. Has anyone already had experience regarding this matter? Thanks, any help is much appreciated.

Of course, in the current situation, things can change any day. @Kirby: I don't think it has anything to do with exempting the 'little things'. In the EU, the tax-free €22 limit has been abandoned a few years ago. Now they charge you from the first Euro. In practice, that can mean 19 Cents tax on a €1 item, plus 19% on shipping costs, plus €6 or something for DHL for custom clearance. I have entirely stopped ordering little things from countries like the UK, not worth the cost and hassle anymore. With big players (like AliExpress) you have to pre-pay the import tax, but there's always a chance that DHL ignores this and bills you again.

Helmut Potentially great news, and fantastic research! As you understand this, what countries does this apply to, and are there any it does not apply to? The hobby owes you a gigantic thank you!
