HS Code Classification for BISCUIT MOLD
Based on the provided reference data, classifying "BISCUIT MOLD" requires careful consideration of its material and intended use. Here's a breakdown of potential HS codes, along with explanations:
-
8480500010 - Molding boxes for metal foundry; mold bases; molding patterns; molds for metal (other than ingot molds), metal carbides, glass, mineral materials, rubber or plastics: This code covers molds used in metal casting or forming processes.
- 84: Machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof. This broad category indicates the item is a piece of equipment.
- 80: Molding or die-casting machinery. This narrows it down to equipment specifically for shaping materials.
- 50: Molding boxes, bases, patterns, molds. This specifies the type of equipment.
- 00: General code for this category.
- 10: Specific sub-classification.
- Applicability: If the biscuit mold is used in an industrial metal forming process (e.g., creating molds for metal biscuit tin production), this code is a strong possibility. Tax Rate: 55.0% (0.0% base tariff + 25.0% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
-
8480600010 - Molding boxes for metal foundry; mold bases; molding patterns; molds for metal (other than ingot molds), metal carbides, glass, mineral materials, rubber or plastics: This code is similar to 8480500010 but specifically for molds used with mineral materials.
- 84: Machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof.
- 80: Molding or die-casting machinery.
- 60: Molds for mineral materials.
- 00: General code for this category.
- 10: Specific sub-classification.
- Applicability: If the biscuit mold is used to create molds for ceramic or other mineral-based biscuit production, this code may be appropriate. Tax Rate: 37.5% (0.0% base tariff + 7.5% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
-
3923300090 - Articles for the conveyance or packing of goods, of plastics; stoppers, lids, caps and other closures, of plastics: Carboys, bottles, flasks and similar articles Other: This code applies if the biscuit mold is made of plastic and is used for shaping the biscuit itself (like a mold to create a specific biscuit shape).
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
- 23: Packing articles, of plastics.
- 30: Articles for conveyance or packing.
- 00: General code for this category.
- 90: Specific sub-classification.
- Applicability: If the mold is a plastic form used directly in biscuit production, this is a likely candidate. Tax Rate: 58.0% (3.0% base tariff + 25.0% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
-
3923900080 - Articles for the conveyance or packing of goods, of plastics; stoppers, lids, caps and other closures, of plastics: Other Other: This is a broader category for plastic packing articles.
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
- 23: Packing articles, of plastics.
- 90: Other plastic packing articles.
- 00: General code for this category.
- 80: Specific sub-classification.
- Applicability: If the mold is made of plastic and doesn't fit neatly into the 3923300090 category, this could be used. Tax Rate: 58.0% (3.0% base tariff + 25.0% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material: The primary material of the biscuit mold is crucial. Is it metal, plastic, ceramic, or another material?
- Intended Use: Is the mold used to create molds for biscuit production, or is it used directly to shape the biscuits themselves?
- Certification: Depending on the material and intended use (especially if it comes into contact with food), you may need to provide certifications related to food safety standards.
- Single Declaration: Please provide more details about the material and usage of the product to determine the most accurate HS code.
- Price: The price of the product may also affect the HS code classification.
