Classification and Tariff Analysis for "Catgut Yarn for Research Purposes"
Based on your product description, catgut yarn is typically classified under HS Code 5402.199000 (for "Other man-made staple fibers: Other: Other: Other"). However, if the catgut yarn is derived from animal gut (e.g., from sheep or cows), it may fall under HS Code 5402.199000 or HS Code 5402.191000, depending on the exact composition and processing.
However, catgut is a traditional term for silk-like yarn made from the intestines of animals, and in some contexts, it may be classified under HS Code 5006 (for silk yarn and silk waste), especially if it is used for retail sale or research purposes.
Given the ambiguity in the product description, here is a detailed breakdown of the HS codes and tariff implications for the listed items, with a focus on catgut yarn and related organic compounds:
✅ 1. Silk Yarn and Silk Waste (Catgut-like Material)
HS Code: 5006001000
Description: Silk yarn and yarn spun from silk waste, put up for retail sale; silkworm gut: Containing 85% or more by weight of silk or silk waste
- Base Tariff Rate: 0.0%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0%
- Special Tariff after April 11, 2025: 30.0%
- Total Tariff: 55.0%
⚠️ Note: If your catgut yarn is made from animal gut (not silkworm), it may not fall under this code. Confirm the material source and processing method.
✅ 2. Other Silk Yarn (Catgut-like Material)
HS Code: 5006009000
Description: Silk yarn and yarn spun from silk waste, put up for retail sale; silkworm gut: Other (800)
- Base Tariff Rate: 0.0%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0%
- Special Tariff after April 11, 2025: 30.0%
- Total Tariff: 55.0%
⚠️ Note: This code is for other types of silk yarn, including catgut-like materials that do not meet the 85% silk content threshold.
✅ 3. Organic Compounds (Aromatic or Modified Aromatic)
HS Code: 2942000500
Description: Other organic compounds: Aromatic or modified aromatic: Other: Drugs
- Base Tariff Rate: 6.5%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0%
- Special Tariff after April 11, 2025: 30.0%
- Total Tariff: 61.5%
⚠️ Note: This code is for chemical substances used in pharmaceuticals. If your catgut yarn is used in research involving organic compounds, this may be relevant.
✅ 4. Other Organic Compounds (Non-Drug)
HS Code: 2942003500
Description: Other organic compounds: Aromatic or modified aromatic: Other: Other: Other
- Base Tariff Rate: 6.5%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0%
- Special Tariff after April 11, 2025: 30.0%
- Total Tariff: 61.5%
⚠️ Note: This is for non-pharmaceutical organic compounds. If your research involves chemical analysis of catgut, this may apply.
✅ 5. Glands and Organs for Therapeutic Use
HS Code: 3001900190
Description: Other human or animal substances prepared for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, not elsewhere specified or included: Other
- Base Tariff Rate: 0.0%
- Additional Tariff: 0.0%
- Special Tariff after April 11, 2025: 30.0%
- Total Tariff: 30.0%
⚠️ Note: This code is for biological substances used in medical research. If your catgut is used in biomedical research, this may be relevant.
✅ 6. Other Glands and Organs (Dried)
HS Code: 3001900150
Description: Other glands and other organs, dried, whether or not powdered
- Base Tariff Rate: 0.0%
- Additional Tariff: 0.0%
- Special Tariff after April 11, 2025: 30.0%
- Total Tariff: 30.0%
⚠️ Note: This is for dried animal organs. If your catgut is derived from animal intestines, this may be a relevant classification.
📌 Proactive Advice for Customs Compliance
- Verify the exact composition of the catgut yarn (e.g., animal source, processing method).
- Check the intended use (e.g., research, medical, or retail) to determine the correct HS code.
- Confirm the unit price and quantity for accurate tariff calculation.
- Check if any certifications (e.g., CITES, REACH, or FDA) are required for import.
- Be aware of the April 11, 2025, tariff increase and plan accordingly for cost estimation.
📅 Time-Sensitive Policy Alert
Additional tariffs of 30.0% will apply after April 11, 2025, for all the listed HS codes. Ensure your import documentation is ready in advance to avoid unexpected costs.
