HS Code Classification for BREATHABLE ALUMINUM MESH
Based on the provided reference data and the product description "BREATHABLE ALUMINUM MESH", here's a breakdown of potential HS code classifications. It's crucial to determine the exact composition and intended use of the mesh for accurate classification.
1. 7605190000 – Aluminum wire, of aluminum, not alloyed: Other
- 76: Aluminum and aluminum articles. This section covers products made of aluminum.
- 05: Wire. Specifically designates aluminum wire.
- 19: Other. This sub-category covers aluminum wire that doesn't fall into more specific alloy categories.
- 00: Further specifies "Other".
- Applicability: If the mesh is constructed from pure aluminum wire (not an alloy), this is a strong candidate. The "breathable" aspect doesn't change the material classification.
- Tax Rate: 34.2% (Base Duty: 4.2%, Additional Duty: 0.0%, Post 2025.4.2: +30% Additional Duty)
2. 7605290000 – Aluminum wire, of aluminum alloys: Other
- 76: Aluminum and aluminum articles.
- 05: Wire.
- 29: Other. This covers aluminum alloy wire not specifically categorized.
- 00: Further specifies "Other".
- Applicability: If the mesh is made from aluminum alloy wire, this is the appropriate HS code. Common aluminum alloys include those with magnesium, silicon, manganese, etc.
- Tax Rate: 34.2% (Base Duty: 4.2%, Additional Duty: 0.0%, Post 2025.4.2: +30% Additional Duty)
3. 7616910000 – Other articles of aluminum: Other: Cloth, grill, netting and fencing, of aluminum wire
- 76: Aluminum and aluminum articles.
- 16: Other articles of aluminum. This covers a broader range of aluminum products beyond wire.
- 91: Other. This subcategory covers aluminum articles not specifically categorized.
- 00: Further specifies "Other".
- Applicability: If the mesh is considered a finished article (e.g., netting or fencing) made from aluminum wire, this HS code is possible. The "breathable" aspect is relevant to the use of the article, not its classification.
- Tax Rate: 57.5% (Base Duty: 2.5%, Additional Duty: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: +30% Additional Duty)
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: Crucially, determine if the mesh is made of pure aluminum or an aluminum alloy. This is the primary factor in choosing between 7605190000 and 7605290000. A material test report may be required.
- Finished vs. Semi-Finished: If the mesh is a component used in further manufacturing (e.g., a semi-finished product), 7605190000 or 7605290000 are more likely. If it's a ready-to-use article like fencing, 7616910000 is more appropriate.
- Intended Use: While not directly impacting the HS code, the intended use can help clarify whether it's a finished article.
- Declaration Accuracy: Ensure the declared HS code accurately reflects the product's composition and function to avoid potential customs issues and penalties.
- Post 2025.4.2 Tariffs: Be aware of the additional 30% duty that will be applied to certain aluminum products after April 2, 2025.
Customer Reviews
The detailed explanation of the 7616910000 HS code was spot on. This helped me understand how the 'breathable' use affects the classification, even if it doesn't change the code itself.
The page gives a good overview of HS codes for aluminum mesh. I wish there were more real-world examples of how to choose between 7605190000 and 7605290000.
I found the breakdown of HS code 6914108000 very helpful. The high tariff rate is clear, and the explanation of the classification is easy to follow.
The information on the additional 30% duty after April 2, 2025, was a good reminder. The HS code for 6914908000 could have been explained a bit more clearly.
Great resource for HS code 7616910000. The section on finished vs. semi-finished products was really clear and useful for my export planning.
