Customs Compliance Analysis for DIYMOLD Product Classification
Product Classification Overview
You have provided two HS codes related to polyethylene polymers, both falling under Chapter 39 (Plastics and articles thereof). These are classified based on the specific gravity and type of polyethylene (linear low density vs. low density, excluding linear low density).
HS Code 3901105010
Description:
Polymers of ethylene, in primary forms: Polyethylene having a specific gravity of less than 0.94: Other Linear low density polyethylene
HS Code: 3901105010
Tariff Details: - Base Tariff Rate: 6.5% - Additional Tariff: 25.0% - Special Tariff after April 11, 2025: 30.0% - Total Tariff: 61.5%
Key Notes: - This classification applies to linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) with a specific gravity less than 0.94. - The additional 25% tariff is likely a standard import duty or trade agreement-related. - After April 11, 2025, an additional 30% tariff will be applied, significantly increasing the total duty.
Proactive Advice: - Confirm the material composition and specific gravity of the product to ensure correct classification. - If the product is imported after April 11, 2025, be prepared for the 30% additional tariff. - Check if certifications (e.g., REACH, RoHS) are required for import into the destination country.
HS Code 3901105020
Description:
Polymers of ethylene, in primary forms: Polyethylene having a specific gravity of less than 0.94: Other Low density polyethylene, except linear low density polyethylene
HS Code: 3901105020
Tariff Details: - Base Tariff Rate: 6.5% - Additional Tariff: 25.0% - Special Tariff after April 11, 2025: 30.0% - Total Tariff: 61.5%
Key Notes: - This classification applies to low density polyethylene (LDPE) with a specific gravity less than 0.94, excluding linear low density polyethylene. - The tariff structure is identical to the previous code, indicating similar trade policies for both types of polyethylene.
Proactive Advice: - Ensure the product is not classified as LLDPE if you are using this HS code. - Verify the specific gravity of the material to avoid misclassification. - Be aware of the 30% additional tariff after April 11, 2025.
Summary of Tax Rate Changes (April 11, 2025)
| Tariff Type | Rate (Before April 11, 2025) | Rate (After April 11, 2025) |
|---|---|---|
| Base Tariff | 6.5% | 6.5% |
| Additional Tariff | 25.0% | 25.0% |
| Special Tariff | — | 30.0% |
| Total Tariff | 61.5% | 61.5% |
⚠️ Important: The special tariff of 30% is only applicable after April 11, 2025. If your import is scheduled before this date, the 25% additional tariff will apply.
Final Recommendations
- Verify the exact type of polyethylene (LLDPE vs. LDPE) and specific gravity.
- Check the import date to determine the applicable tariff.
- Review any certifications required for the destination market.
- Consult a customs broker or trade compliance expert for accurate documentation and duty calculation.
