Find HS Code and trade information for BLUETOOTH SPEAKER

Okay, let's break down the classification and duty information for your declared goods. Here's a detailed analysis, presented in a structured format to help you understand the process:

Analysis of Declared Goods: Electric Sound Amplifier Sets & Rubber Household Articles

You've provided information for two items. We'll address each separately.

1. Electric Sound Amplifier Sets

• Description: Electric sound amplifier sets
• HS Code: Currently Blank

Classification Guidance:

This item falls under the broad category of audio equipment. Determining the precise HS code requires more detail. Here's a breakdown of potential codes and what information is needed:

• 8518.10.00: Telephone handsets, incorporating a loudspeaker, a microphone or both. (If it's primarily a hands-free phone device)
• 8518.21.00: Other receivers fitted with a loudspeaker and/or a microphone and/or a headphone. (If it's a receiver, like a walkie-talkie)
• 8518.50.00: Loudspeakers, whether or not mounted in a sound box. (If it's a standalone speaker)
• 8519.21.00: Portable radio receivers. (If it's a portable radio with amplification)
• 8518.40.00: Other sound or video recording or reproducing apparatus. (If it's a recording device with amplification)

To determine the correct HS code, please provide the following information:

• Functionality: What is the primary function of the device? (e.g., playing music, making calls, recording audio, public address)
• Portability: Is it designed to be easily moved?
• Power Source: Is it battery-powered, AC-powered, or both?
• Connectivity: Does it have Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or other wireless capabilities?
• Features: Does it include a radio, microphone, recording function, or other special features?

Duty Information: Once the HS code is determined, we can provide accurate duty rates. Duty rates vary significantly based on the HS code and the country of import.

2. Other articles of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber: Other: Other: Household articles not elsewhere specified or included (HS Code: 4016.99.05.00)

• Description: Other articles of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber: Other: Other: Household articles not elsewhere specified or included
• HS Code: 4016.99.05.00

Understanding the HS Code Breakdown:

• Chapter 40: Rubber and articles thereof. This indicates the product is made of rubber.
• 4016: Articles of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber. This specifies it's a vulcanized rubber product, but not "hard rubber".
• 4016.99: Other articles of vulcanized rubber not elsewhere specified or included. This is a "catch-all" category for rubber articles not specifically listed elsewhere.
• 4016.99.05.00: Household articles not elsewhere specified or included. This further narrows down the category to rubber household items.

Duty Information:

• Basic Duty: 3.4%
• Additional Duty: 7.5%
• Post-April 2025 Additional Duty: 30%
• Total Duty: 40.9%

Important Considerations:

• Material Composition: While classified as rubber, the exact rubber composition can sometimes affect duty rates. If the item contains significant amounts of other materials (e.g., plastic, metal), this should be noted.
• Value Declaration: Ensure the declared value accurately reflects the transaction value. Incorrect valuation can lead to penalties.
• Certification: Depending on the destination country, you may need to provide certifications related to product safety, quality, or environmental standards. Please check the import requirements of the destination country.
• Trade Agreements: Check if any trade agreements exist between China and the destination country that could reduce or eliminate duties.

Next Steps:

1. Provide detailed information about the "Electric Sound Amplifier Sets" to allow for accurate HS code classification.
2. Verify the material composition and value of both items.
3. Research import requirements and potential certifications for the destination country.
4. Consult with a customs broker or freight forwarder for assistance with clearance procedures.
