Based on the provided reference data and the user input "COLORFUL ADAPTER", here's a breakdown of potential HS codes and relevant considerations. Since "adapter" is broad, several codes might apply depending on the adapter's specific function and construction.
-
8548000000 – Electrical parts of machinery or apparatus, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter.
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment.
- 48: Electrical parts of machinery or apparatus.
- 0000: General category for unspecified parts.
- Applicability: This is a broad catch-all for electrical components not fitting more specific categories. If the adapter is a custom or specialized part for machinery, this could be suitable.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total: 55.0%.
-
8536694010 – Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits…: Lamp-holders, plugs and sockets: Other: Coaxial connectors; cylindrical multicontact connectors; rack and panel connectors; printed circuit connectors; ribbon or flat cable connectors Coaxial connectors.
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment.
- 36: Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits.
- 69: Connectors.
- 4010: Specifically for coaxial connectors and related types.
- Applicability: If the adapter functions as a connector (e.g., coaxial, multi-contact) for electrical circuits, this is a strong possibility.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total: 55.0%.
-
8536698000 – Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits…: Lamp-holders, plugs and sockets: Other: Other.
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment.
- 36: Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits.
- 69: Connectors.
- 8000: A catch-all for other connectors not specifically listed.
- Applicability: If the adapter is a connector but doesn't fall into the more specific categories within 853669, this is a likely choice.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 2.7%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total: 57.7%.
-
3923900080 – Articles for the conveyance or packing of goods, of plastics…: Other Other.
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
- 23: Articles for the conveyance or packing of goods.
- 90: Other.
- 0080: General category for unspecified plastic articles.
- Applicability: If the adapter is made of plastic and used for packaging or conveyance (e.g., a plastic adapter for bundling cables), this might apply.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 3.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total: 58.0%.
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The material the adapter is made from is crucial. If it’s primarily plastic, 3923900080 becomes more relevant. If it’s metal or contains significant electronic components, 8548 or 8536 are more likely.
- Functionality: What does the adapter do? Is it simply a physical connector, or does it perform a switching or protection function?
- Voltage Rating: If the adapter is designed for circuits exceeding 1,000V, the 8536 codes may not be applicable.
- Detailed Description: Provide a more detailed description of the adapter (e.g., connector type, voltage rating, material, intended use) for a more accurate classification.
- Certification: Depending on the application, specific certifications (e.g., safety standards) may be required. Confirm necessary certifications based on the final HS code and intended market.
- Post 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the tariff increases scheduled for April 2, 2025.
