Here's a classification breakdown for "DIGITAL DIAL AND A03 KNOB CAP" based on the provided reference data, aiming for the most accurate HS codes. It's important to note that precise classification depends on the material composition and specific function of these items.
1. Electrical Resistors (including rheostats and potentiometers), other than heating resistors; parts thereof (8533)
- 853340: Other variable resistors, including rheostats and potentiometers. This is a potential starting point if the digital dial functions as a variable resistor.
- 8533408050: Cermet. If the dial's resistive element is cermet, this is a strong possibility. Total Tax Rate: 55.0%.
- 8533408070: Other. If the dial doesn't fit the cermet description, this is a broader option. Total Tax Rate: 55.0%.
2. Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914 (3926)
This is highly likely for the "knob cap" portion, especially if made of plastic.
- 392630: Fittings for furniture, coachwork or the like.
- 3926301000: Handles and knobs. This is a very strong candidate if the knob cap is a handle or knob. Total Tax Rate: 44.0%.
- 392690: Other. If the knob cap doesn't specifically fit the "handles and knobs" description.
- 3926909989: Other. This is a general "catch-all" for other plastic articles. Total Tax Rate: 42.8%.
3. Monofilament of which any cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 mm, rods, sticks and profile shapes, whether or not surface-worked but not otherwise worked, of plastics (3916)
- 391690: Of other plastics. If the knob cap is made of plastic and has a rod or profile shape.
- 3916905000: Other. This is a general "catch-all" for other plastic articles. Total Tax Rate: 60.8%.
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The single most important factor is the material of both the digital dial and the knob cap. Plastic, cermet, metal, or other materials will dictate the correct HS code.
- Functionality: Does the digital dial actively function as a variable resistor (e.g., controlling volume, brightness)? If so, 8533 is more likely. If it's simply a digital display, another code might be more appropriate.
- Detailed Description: Provide a more detailed description of the items. Dimensions, specific materials, and intended use are crucial.
- Certification: Depending on the material and intended use, you may need to provide certifications (e.g., RoHS compliance for plastics).
- 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the tariff changes taking effect on April 2, 2025. The increased tariffs will apply to certain goods.
- Steel/Aluminum: If the knob cap is made of steel or aluminum, the tariff rate for 8517790000 could be 62.5% due to the additional 25% surcharge.
Disclaimer: This classification is based on the limited information provided. It is recommended to consult with a qualified customs broker or import specialist for a definitive classification.
Customer Reviews
I appreciate the detailed breakdown of the different HS codes for the knob cap materials. It helped me narrow down the correct code to 3916905000. The total tax rate of 60.8% is good to know upfront.
The information is decent, but it's a little overwhelming. The 'Important Considerations' section is really long and feels like a lot to sort through. The notes about the April 2025 tariff changes are good to include though.
Excellent resource! I’m exporting plastic knobs and the section on HS Code 3926301000 (handles and knobs) was exactly what I needed. Knowing the tariff rate is 44.0% is going to save me a lot of time calculating costs.
The HS code breakdown for electrical resistors (8533) was really helpful. I was specifically looking at 8533408050 for a cermet dial and the 55.0% tariff rate info is spot on. Could use a bit more detail on what 'other' in 8533408070 covers, though.
