If the goods are made in China, check Section 301 duties under HTSUS heading 9903.88, on top of the general rate, and any exclusions.

Common paperwork mistakes with heading 2515

The invoice shows the exporter's own code. Only the first six digits are shared worldwide; the US number has ten. Check every line against the list above.
The quantity is in the wrong unit. These lines report quantity in m3/t or t, which may not match the invoice's cartons, sets or pieces.
The packing list and the bill of lading disagree on cartons or gross weight, which can lead to holds and exams.
The manufacturer's name and address are missing, so the MID cannot be built from the documents.

Look up any ten-digit number, or read the guide to invoice and packing list mismatches.
