Tariff information for Boston 2026 World Expo

By Linn’s Staff

A new section of the Boston 2026 World Expo website deals exclusively with tariff issues around stamps and philatelic material. The information can be found by clicking on the “Tariffs” link at the top of the Boston 2026 website home page at www.boston2026.org.

Evidence shown on the website includes a Customs and Border Protection ruling on the tariff classification of certain postage stamps and a first-day cover from China and Japan, and an email from Andrew Langreich of Customs and Border Protection saying that items classified under heading 9704 may qualify for exemptions from additional duties. In that email, Langreich adds, “Please do not be concerned with the use of the word ‘may.’ Heading 9704 is on that list, so it is exempted from additional duties.”

The show has employed the customs broker Vantage Point to assist with acquiring temporary importation bonds for philatelic material not being sold to enter the country under a tariff-free status.
