Internationally - recognized Safety StandardsTariffs and trade barriers
The U.S. has strict access requirements for power tools, including FCC (electromagnetic compatibility certification), UL/ETL (safety certification), Prop 65 (environmental certification), and other standards. Additional state-level regulations may apply. Without professional guidance, enterprises risk cargo detention or return due to missing certifications.

Regional Mandatory CertificationsTariff Cost Pressures
Affected by Sino-U.S. trade policies, power tools (e.g., drills, angle grinders) may face a 25% Section 301 tariff. Enterprises must leverage HTS code classification, rules of origin, and tariff exemption policies to reduce costs.

Cultural and Religious NormsLogistics and Warehousing Risks
Power tools contain sensitive components like lithium batteries and motors, requiring international transport compliance with IATA/IEC standards. Improper logistics planning for oversized or overweight products can lead to cost spikes. Additionally, U.S. warehousing layout and last-mile delivery efficiency directly impact customer experience.
