Home Accent Today’s exclusive imports report is based on the value of imports as appraised by the U.S. Customs Service. This value is defined as the price actually paid or payable for merchandise, excluding U.S. import duties, freight, insurance, and other charges. The numbers are coded according to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule and made available to Home Accents Today by the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. International Trade Commission.
