CAR BATTERY CABLE HS Code Classification
Based on the provided reference data, here's a breakdown of potential HS codes for "CAR BATTERY CABLE", along with explanations and considerations:
1. 8544300000 – Ignition wiring sets and other wiring sets of a kind used in vehicles, aircraft or ships
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recording or reproducing apparatus, television-image multiplier tubes, klystrons, magnetrons and like tubes.
- 44: Insulated (including enameled or anodized) wire, cable (including coaxial cable) and other insulated electric conductors, whether or not fitted with connectors; optical fiber cables, made up of individually sheathed fibers, whether or not assembled with electric conductors or fitted with connectors.
- 30: Ignition wiring sets and other wiring sets of a kind used in vehicles, aircraft or ships.
- Explanation: This is the most likely HS code if the cable is specifically designed and sold as a complete wiring set for automotive battery connections. It covers pre-assembled cables with connectors intended for vehicle use.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 5.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total Tariff: 60.0%.
2. 8507904000 – Parts: Of lead-acid storage batteries
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recording or reproducing apparatus, television-image multiplier tubes, klystrons, magnetrons and like tubes.
- 07: Electric storage batteries, including separators therefor, whether or not rectangular (including square); parts thereof.
- 90: Parts.
- 40: Parts of lead-acid storage batteries.
- Explanation: If the cable is specifically manufactured as a component for lead-acid car batteries (e.g., a specialized connection cable integral to the battery design), this code may apply.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 3.5%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total Tariff: 58.5%.
3. 8507908000 – Parts: Other
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recording or reproducing apparatus, television-image multiplier tubes, klystrons, magnetrons and like tubes.
- 07: Electric storage batteries, including separators therefor, whether or not rectangular (including square); parts thereof.
- 90: Parts.
- 80: Other parts.
- Explanation: This is a broader category for battery parts. If the cable is a general-purpose connection cable for a battery but isn't specifically designed as a lead-acid battery component, this code could be appropriate.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 3.4%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total Tariff: 58.4%.
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Cable Composition: The material of the cable (e.g., copper, aluminum, PVC insulation) is crucial.
- Connectors: The type of connectors used (e.g., ring terminals, alligator clips) will influence the classification.
- Intended Use: Is the cable sold as a complete wiring set, or as a component for battery connection?
- Declaration Accuracy: Provide a detailed product description and technical specifications to customs officials.
- Material Certification: You may need to provide material certifications (e.g., RoHS compliance) depending on the cable's composition.
- Single Invoice: Ensure the invoice clearly states the product description, HS code, quantity, unit price, and total value.
- Post 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the additional tariff increases scheduled for April 2, 2025.
Disclaimer: This information is for general guidance only. The final HS code classification is determined by customs officials based on the specific product and supporting documentation. It is recommended to consult with a licensed customs broker or seek an official binding ruling from the relevant customs authority for definitive classification.
