HS Code Classification for BALLOON STANDS
Based on the provided reference data, classifying "BALLOON STANDS" requires careful consideration of the material composition. Here's a breakdown of potential HS codes, along with explanations:
-
3926.90.10.00 - Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Other: Buckets and pails (Total Tax Rate: 40.9%)
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof. This indicates the product is made of plastic.
- 26: Other articles. This covers a broad range of plastic products not specifically classified elsewhere.
- 90: Other. Further specifies items not covered in more detailed categories within 3926.
- 10: Buckets and pails. If the balloon stands are structurally similar to buckets or pails (e.g., a rigid, container-like base), this code might apply.
- Note: This is less likely unless the stands are very bucket-shaped.
-
3926.90.99.89 - Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Other: Other (Total Tax Rate: 42.8%)

Customer Reviews
The recommendations on providing a detailed description for customs were spot on. I'll make sure to follow them for my next shipment.
The section on tariff rates and the 2025.4.2 changes was very useful. I didn't know about the increased tariffs and this helped me plan better.
The page is good, but I wish there was a way to filter HS codes by material type. It would make finding the right code much faster.
The info on HS Code 9620005000 was informative. It helped me understand the difference between plastic and wood-based classifications for tripods.
I found the detailed analysis of 3923900080 very useful. It made me realize that my balloon stands might be classified under this code if they're used for packaging.
