CAR KIT – HS Code Classification & Customs Information
This document provides a breakdown of the HS codes associated with your “CAR KIT” declaration, along with relevant customs information. It's important to understand these codes accurately to ensure smooth import/export processes and correct duty assessment.

Customer Reviews
The page clearly listed the HS Codes and their tariff rates. I would have liked more visuals, but the text was clear and easy to follow.
I was impressed with the detailed explanation of the 8517140020 code. It helped me understand that the phone is for motor vehicles and the duty implications. Great resource!
The breakdown of the HS Code 9503000071 was excellent. I learned that the 30% duty applies after April 2, 2025, which is important to note for my export planning.
I was looking for HS codes for a car kit and found this page very useful. It even provided the 30% tariff rate for both codes and gave tips on certifications needed.
The information on the 8525.60.10.00 code was incomplete. It would be better if they had a way to check if the tax info is missing before I even start.
