Notes for pet supplies
- Pet food and chews made from animal by-products need veterinary certification.
- Toy and accessory duty depends on the dominant material, not the intended use.
These are planning figures, not a binding tariff ruling. Origin-based measures (anti-dumping, preferential rates) can change the result.
