DIY SET – HS Code Classification & Duty Information

Based on the provided item descriptions, here's a breakdown of the HS code classifications and associated duties. Please note that the final classification is determined by customs officials and this is for guidance only.

Understanding HS Codes:

HS (Harmonized System) codes are internationally standardized codes used to classify traded products. The first two digits generally indicate the chapter, the next two the subheading, and further digits provide more specific details.

1. Articles of Jewelry and Parts Thereof (No HS Code Provided)

• Potential HS Code: Chapter 71 (Jewelry, precious stones, pearls, etc.). Without a more specific description (material, precious metal content), it's difficult to pinpoint the exact code.
• Duty Information: Duty rates vary significantly based on the material (gold, silver, platinum, base metal) and whether the item is clad with precious metal.
• Recommendation: Please provide the material composition (e.g., 925 silver, gold plated brass) to determine the correct HS code and applicable duty rate. You'll also need to confirm if the jewelry contains precious stones.

Important Reminders & Recommendations:

• Material Verification: For all items, especially jewelry, confirm the exact material composition.
• Single vs. Set Classification: If items are sold separately, they may have different HS codes and duty rates than when sold as a set.
• Certification: Depending on the nature of the items (e.g., children's toys), you may need to provide certifications (e.g., CE marking, safety reports).
• Valuation: The declared value of the goods is crucial for duty calculation.
• April 2, 2025: Be aware of the upcoming changes in additional duty rates.
• Consult with Customs: For complex classifications or large shipments, it's always best to consult directly with Chinese customs authorities or a licensed customs broker.
