Declaration Analysis: CROCHET HOOKS SET - HS Code Breakdown & Customs Considerations
This analysis details the HS codes provided for your "CROCHET HOOKS SET" declaration, outlining potential classifications, tax implications, and important considerations for smooth customs clearance.
Please note: Determining the correct HS code is crucial. Misclassification can lead to delays, penalties, and unexpected costs. This analysis is based on the descriptions provided; a final determination may require further information about the set's composition and intended use.
1. HS Code 8205.90.60.00 – Handtools (Not Elsewhere Specified) – Sets
- Chapter 82: Tools, implements, cutlery, hand tools, and articles thereof. This chapter broadly covers hand-operated tools.
- 8205: Hand tools (including glass cutters) not elsewhere specified or included. This is a more specific grouping for tools not classified elsewhere.
- 8205.90: Other hand tools. This covers tools within 8205 that don't fit into more specific subheadings.
- 8205.90.60.00: Other, including sets of articles of two or more subheadings of this heading. This is where your crochet hook set likely falls, as it contains multiple hand tools.
Tax Implications:
- Basic Duty: The rate of duty applicable to each article within the set. This means each type of crochet hook (if different sizes/materials have different rates) will be assessed individually.
- Additional Duty: 0.0%
- Additional Duty (Post April 2, 2025): 30.0%
- Total Tax: Basic Duty + 30.0% (post April 2, 2025).
Important Considerations:
- Material Breakdown: The basic duty rate will depend on the material of each crochet hook (e.g., steel, aluminum, plastic). Provide a detailed material list for accurate duty calculation.
- Set Composition: Confirm that all items in the set qualify as "hand tools" under HS 8205. If the set includes non-tool items (e.g., a case made of a different material), they may need separate classification.
- Single vs. Multiple HS Codes: Depending on the composition, you might need to classify the set as a combination of different HS codes if the items are significantly different.
