HS Code Classification for "CATS NEST"
Based on the provided reference data, classifying "CATS NEST" requires careful consideration of the product's material and intended use. Here's a breakdown of potential HS codes, along with explanations:
1. 4205.00.80.00 – Other articles of leather or of composition leather: Other: Other: Other
- 42: Articles of leather; saddlery and harness; articles of animal gut (other than gut used for surgical purposes); articles of tanning or retanning; articles of composition leather. This chapter broadly covers leather goods.
- 05: Other articles of leather or of composition leather. This narrows down the category to items not specifically covered elsewhere in the chapter.
- 00.80.00: This is a very broad residual category. If the "CATS NEST" is made of leather or a leather-like material and doesn't fit into more specific subheadings, this could be applicable.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total: 55.0%
- Note: This is a very general classification. It's crucial to confirm the material composition. If it's not genuine leather, other codes might be more appropriate.
2. 4205.00.05.00 – Other articles of leather or of leather composition: Of a kind used in machinery or mechanical appliances or for other technical uses: Belting leather cut or wholly or partly manufactured into forms or shapes suitable for conversion into belting (If the nest has a structural form)
- 42: Articles of leather; saddlery and harness; articles of animal gut (other than gut used for surgical purposes); articles of tanning or retanning; articles of composition leather.
- 05: Other articles of leather or of composition leather.
- 00.05.00: This code applies if the "CATS NEST" is designed for use in machinery or has a technical application. For example, if it's a structural component in a pet grooming device.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 2.9%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total: 57.9%
- Note: The description specifically mentions "belting leather." Confirm if the material is suitable for belting applications, even if it's not actually used as a belt.
3. 4201.00.30.00 – Saddlery and harness for any animal (including traces, leads, knee pads, muzzles, saddle cloths, saddle bags, dog coats and the like), of any material: Dog leashes, collars, muzzles, harnesses and similar dog equipment
- 42: Articles of leather; saddlery and harness; articles of animal gut (other than gut used for surgical purposes); articles of tanning or retanning; articles of composition leather.
- 01: Saddlery and harness for any animal.
- 00.30.00: This code is specifically for dog equipment like leashes, collars, and muzzles. If the "CATS NEST" is designed to restrain or control a cat in a similar way, this code might be applicable.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 2.4%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total: 57.4%
- Note: The key here is the functionality of the "CATS NEST." Is it used for restraint or control?
4. 4201.00.60.00 – Saddlery and harness for any animal (including traces, leads, knee pads, muzzles, saddle cloths, saddle bags, dog coats and the like), of any material: Other
- 42: Articles of leather; saddlery and harness; articles of animal gut (other than gut used for surgical purposes); articles of tanning or retanning; articles of composition leather.
- 01: Saddlery and harness for any animal.
- 00.60.00: This is a catch-all category for saddlery and harness items not specifically listed elsewhere. If the "CATS NEST" is a general pet accessory and doesn't fit the other descriptions, this might be the best option.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 2.8%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total: 57.8%
- Note: This is a broad category, so detailed information about the product's design and purpose is essential.
