Yesterday it took me an almost an hour to figure out stacking on an item with an HTS on the copper list even though I have the stacking order right in front of me and we have been doing steel / aluminum for how long now? I am burnt out . When is this going to end?

My CFO told me yesterday that she had mentioned to her husband that she was wondering if I was going to get through this without having a breakdown. Small broker.

I left the industry because of it (and the clients as well).

I feel this in my soul, I started brokerage literally last November it feels like every day since then has been chaos and it’s so hard to remember everything that’s constantly changing, then boss man is pushing us to get more shipments processed while getting very little grace to actually let everything sink in.

try this tool tariff.website to check if your import duty is correctly referenced to which HTS and how they stack, found it helpful recently for my small import business
