What does America actually import for saunas?

Sauna Import tracks U.S. Census trade data and Customs rulings across the tariff categories used for prefabricated saunas, electric sauna heaters and portable infrared saunas—without pretending they all fit into one clean commodity code.

Why this exists

Useful data beats fake precision.

A single “U.S. sauna imports” number would be seductive and often wrong. Sauna products can be entered under different headings depending on their construction and function. This site exposes the classification logic instead of hiding it.

Methodology
For researchers

Downloadable, reproducible data

When the Census sync is active, the underlying category data are published as JSON and CSV. Each classification page links back to the official CBP ruling that establishes why the category is sauna-relevant.
