Sauna-relevant import data

Official monthly trade values for tariff categories that CBP has used for specific sauna products. The categories include non-sauna merchandise, so they are published separately rather than added into a supposed sauna market size.

Live Census data Latest trade month: July 2026 · Site data refresh: September 22, 2026

Interpretation rule: “Sauna-relevant tariff category” does not mean “sauna-only category.” Use these series to study directional trade activity, origin mix and category behavior—not to claim that every dollar in the category represents sauna merchandise.

Category comparison

The 10-digit Census statistical reporting number may be more specific than the 8-digit legal HTS subheading cited in a ruling. The classification pages explain that distinction where relevant.
