Okay, let's break down the HS codes for "CLASP" and their corresponding tariffs. Here's a structured analysis to help you understand the classifications and potential costs.
Understanding HS Codes: A Quick Primer
HS codes (Harmonized System codes) are internationally standardized codes used to classify traded products. The first two digits generally indicate the chapter, the next two the subheading, and further digits provide more specific details. Here's how we'll approach this:

- End Use: The intended use of the clasp can also influence the classification.
- Valuation: The declared value of the goods is essential for duty calculation.
- Certifications: Depending on the material and end-use, you may need certifications (e.g., RoHS, REACH).
- April 2nd, 2025 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the upcoming tariff increases.
- Consult a Customs Broker: For complex cases or large shipments, I strongly recommend consulting a licensed customs broker in your country. They can provide definitive classification and ensure compliance.
