In international shipping, container ships, bulk carriers, tankers and ro-ro ships are the most common types of cargo ships, and their carrying capacity ranges from several thousand tons to hundreds of thousands of tons.

When the package arrives in the US, the US Customs will determine whether tariffs need to be paid based on the declared information of the package. If the value of the package exceeds $800, or the commodity category is taxable, the customs will notify the relevant parties to pay the tariff.
