Recommendations & Important Considerations:
- Material is Key: The most important factor in determining the correct HS code is the material of the dispenser bottle (plastic, glass, aluminum).
- Capacity & Dimensions: For glass bottles, the capacity (over 1 liter) and mouth diameter (<38mm) are crucial.
- Sprayer vs. Bottle: If you are importing the bottle with a sprayer, you may need to declare them separately or find a combined HS code if available.
- Declare Accurately: Ensure the description matches the actual product.
- Check for Updates: HS codes and tariffs can change. Always verify the latest information with your customs broker or local customs authority.
- 2025 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the additional tariff increases scheduled for April 2, 2025.
- Certifications: Depending on the contents of the bottle (cosmetics, chemicals, etc.), you may need specific certifications (e.g., FDA approval, MSDS). Please confirm the requirements for your specific product.
- Single Declaration: If you are importing a complete dispenser bottle with a sprayer, it's best to consult with a customs broker to determine the most accurate and cost-effective HS code.
