CAR MAT HS Code Classification & Duty Information

Based on the provided reference data and the description "CAR MAT", here's a breakdown of potential HS code classifications and associated duties. It's important to note that the precise HS code depends on the material composition of the car mat.

1. HS Code: 6114909070 – Other garments, knitted or crocheted: Of other textile materials: Other Other: Other (859)

• 61: Textile articles, not knitted or crocheted. This broad category covers many fabric-based products.
• 14: Knitted or crocheted articles.
• 90: Other textile materials. This suggests the mat isn't made of common textile fibers like cotton or wool.
• 70: Other. This is a residual category for items not specifically classified elsewhere within the 611490 section.
• Duty:
  • Basic Duty: 5.6%
  • Additional Duty: 0.0%
  • Post April 2, 2025 Additional Duty: 30%
  • Total Duty: 35.6%
  • Applicability: If the car mat is constructed from knitted or crocheted fabric not made of common textile materials (e.g., polypropylene, synthetic blends), this HS code is likely appropriate.

2. Potential HS Code (Requires Further Information): 9403991040 – Other furniture and parts thereof: Parts: Other: Of furniture of a kind used for motor vehicles Of metal

• 94: Furniture; bedding, mattresses, support, stuffing and similar articles; lamps, lighting fittings, illuminated signs, prefabricated buildings.
• 03: Other furniture and parts thereof.
• 99: Parts.
• 10: Other.
• 40: Of furniture of a kind used for motor vehicles Of metal.
• Duty:
  • Basic Duty: 0.0%
  • Additional Duty: 25.0%
  • Post April 2, 2025 Additional Duty: 30% (Steel, aluminum products additional duty: 25%)
  • Total Duty: 80.0%
  • Applicability: This HS code could apply if the car mat is considered a part of motor vehicle furniture and is made of metal. However, this is less likely unless the mat has a significant metal component (e.g., a metal frame or reinforcement).

Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Material Composition: The primary determinant of the correct HS code is the material the car mat is made from. Is it textile (woven, knitted, non-woven), rubber, plastic, metal, or a combination?
• Construction: How is the mat made? Is it a simple fabric layer, or does it have a complex construction with multiple layers and reinforcements?
• Function: While it's a car mat, is it specifically designed for vehicle use (e.g., with retention clips or a custom shape)?
• Certification: Depending on the material and intended use, you may need to provide certifications related to safety, flammability, or environmental standards.
• Single Invoice: If you are importing multiple types of car mats, ensure each type is clearly identified on the invoice to facilitate accurate classification.
• Post April 2, 2025 Duties: Be aware of the increased additional duties coming into effect on April 2, 2025.

Next Steps:

1. Provide the material composition of the car mat. (e.g., 100% polypropylene, 80% rubber/20% polyester)
2. Describe the construction of the mat in detail.
3. Confirm if the mat is specifically designed for vehicle use.

With this additional information, I can provide a more accurate HS code classification.
