Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The primary material of the colored pencils is crucial. If they are wood-cased colored pencils, 9609908000 is the most appropriate. If the core is primarily graphite-based, 3801900000 should be considered.
- Single vs. Multi-Component: The "7 in 1" aspect suggests the pencils may have multiple components (e.g., different colored leads, erasers, sharpeners). This doesn't change the primary HS code, but it's good to document.
- Certification: Depending on the destination country, you may need to provide a material safety data sheet (MSDS) or other certifications to confirm the pencils are non-toxic and meet safety standards.
- Post-April 2025 Tariffs: Be aware of the tariff changes taking effect after April 2, 2025. The additional tariff will increase from 7.5% to 30% for 9609908000 and from 25.0% to 30% for 3801900000.
- Accurate Declaration: Ensure the product description on your customs declaration accurately reflects the contents and materials of the shipment.
- Consult with a Broker: For complex cases or if you are unsure about the correct HS code, it is always best to consult with a licensed customs broker.
