Thoughts? Kudos? Condemnations?
Taking a quick look through the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (U.S.) - your duty(tax) could be 6.5, 7.5, or 8.5%. 50% is a bit high.
And if I remember correctly, neither El Salvador or Nicaragua have quotas on their textile products, so that shouldn't be a concern.
But keep in mind - my specialty is regulating raw or live cotton and hemp, not clothing made from them.
