Attention U.S. Customers
Some shipments of our muzzle brakes are being incorrectly charged with a 50% U.S. import duty. The correct duty, as confirmed by U.S. Customs Ruling N351245, is 10%.
If you’ve received an invoice from DHL showing a higher duty, please don’t worry — this is an error that can be corrected.
👉 Contact us directly by email and we’ll provide you with the official Customs ruling and step-by-step instructions on how to have DHL adjust the duty to the proper 10%.
We’re here to make sure you don’t pay more than you should.

U.S. Customs Duty – Simple Guide for Customers
What to Do if You Were Charged Too Much Duty
- Check your DHL invoice – look for a line called Duty/Customs Tax. This is separate from shipping.
- Call DHL U.S. Duty Office at +1 866 638 7668.
- Tell them:
– You are the Importer of Record.
– The product is a muzzle brake (rifle accessory).
– Correct codes: 9305.20.8060 + 9903.01.25 (10% tariff).
– Reference CBP Ruling N351245. - Email them the PDF ruling (we can resend it).
- Ask for a correction/refund if more than 10% was charged. If you see a 50% duty, this is incorrect – do not pay it. Request correction to 10%.
Why There’s a “Tax”
– This is a U.S. government import tariff, not a shipping cost.
– DHL only collects it for Customs.
– By law, our product has a 10% duty when entering the U.S.
