Exporting Cookware to the USA: Duties, Compliance & Channels
The US buys more cookware than any other market. Here is how Indian exporters reach it profitably.
Duties & tariffs
Check the current HTS rate for 7323.93 - Indian origin currently avoids the China-specific Section 301 tariffs, a major advantage. Confirm with a US customs broker; rates change.
Compliance
- FDA food-contact compliance with documentation
- Prop 65 verification (California)
- Country of origin marking on product and packaging
Logistics
Nhava Sheva → New York (30-35 days) or → Los Angeles (25-30 days). East vs West coast routing depends on your buyer’s warehouse.
Channels
- Importers/distributors - volume, slower decisions
- Amazon US sellers - fast, review-driven
- Retail chains - compliance-heavy, huge volume
- Direct D2C - via 3PL, growing fast
