CAN OPENER - Customs Classification & Duty Information
Here's a breakdown of the customs classification and duty information for your declared item, "CAN OPENER", based on the provided HS Code and tax details.
1. HS Code: 8210.00.00.00
Let's dissect this HS Code to understand the classification:
- 82: This chapter covers "Articles of cutlery, hand tools, implements, cutlery, hand tools, and base metal parts thereof." Essentially, it covers a wide range of hand-operated tools.
- 10: This subheading specifically covers "Hand-operated mechanical appliances, weighing 10 kg or less, used in the preparation, conditioning or serving of food or drink". This is where your can opener falls, as it's a hand-operated tool for food preparation.
- 00.00: This further specifies the item within the subheading. In this case, it indicates all items within this category.
Therefore, 8210.00.00.00 classifies your can opener as a hand-operated mechanical appliance for food preparation, weighing 10 kg or less.

- Basic Duty: 3.7% - This is the standard import duty applied to the item.

- Post-April 2025 Additional Tariff: 30.0% - Please note that the additional tariff will increase to 30.0% after April 2025.
- Total Tax: 58.7% - This is the combined rate of basic duty and additional tariff.
3. Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The HS Code is based on the general description. Please verify the material composition of your can opener. Different materials (e.g., stainless steel vs. carbon steel) could potentially affect the classification, although it's less likely in this case.
- Unit Price: The unit price of the can opener may influence the applicable tax rate or require additional documentation.
- Certification: Depending on the destination country's regulations, you may need to provide specific certifications (e.g., food safety certifications) for importing food preparation tools. Please check the import requirements of the destination country.
- Trade Agreements: Check if there are any applicable trade agreements between China and the destination country that could reduce or eliminate duties.
- Accurate Declaration: Ensure the description on your customs declaration accurately reflects the item. Misdeclaration can lead to delays, penalties, and seizure of goods.
