Here's a classification breakdown for "DOUBLE CAP RIVET" based on the provided reference data, aiming for the most accurate HS codes:
-
8308.20.30.00: Clasps, frames with clasps, buckles, buckle-clasps, hooks, eyes, eyelets and the like, of base metal...; Tubular or bifurcated rivets, of base metal: Of iron or steel and not brightened, not lathed and not machined
- 83: Base Metal Articles (H.S. Chapter) - This chapter covers articles made from common metals like iron, steel, copper, etc.
- 08: Clasps, buckles, hooks, eyelets, rivets, etc.
- 20: Tubular or bifurcated rivets.
- 30: Specifically for rivets made of iron or steel that haven'.s been processed (not brightened, lathed, or machined). This is a strong candidate if your rivets are simple, unpolished iron or steel rivets used in applications like clothing, leather goods, or saddlery.
- Tax Rate: 55.0% (0.0% base tariff + 25.0% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
-
8308.20.60.00: Clasps, frames with clasps, buckles, buckle-clasps, hooks, eyes, eyelets and the like, of base metal...; Tubular or bifurcated rivets, of base metal: Other
- 83: Base Metal Articles
- 08: Clasps, buckles, hooks, eyelets, rivets, etc.
- 20: Tubular or bifurcated rivets.
- 60: This covers "other" tubular or bifurcated rivets, meaning those not specifically meeting the criteria of 8308.20.30.00 (e.g., brightened, lathed, machined, or made of materials other than iron or steel).
- Tax Rate: 55.0% (0.0% base tariff + 25.0% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
-
7318.23.00.00: Screws, bolts, nuts, coach screws, screw hooks, rivets, cotters, cotter pins, washers (including spring washers) and similar articles, of iron or steel: Non-threaded articles: Rivets
- 73: Iron or Steel Articles
- 18: Screws, bolts, nuts, rivets, etc.
- 23: Non-threaded articles (rivets fall into this category).
- 00: Specifically for rivets. This is a good option if your rivets are considered structural fasteners.
- Tax Rate: 80.0% (0.0% base tariff + 25.0% additional tariff + 25% additional tariff on steel/aluminum products, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material: The material composition of the rivet is crucial. If it's iron or steel, 8308 or 7318 are likely candidates. If it's aluminum or another alloy, the 7318 code's additional tariff applies.
- Processing: Is the rivet simply formed, or has it undergone further processing like brightening, lathe-turning, or machining? This dictates whether 8308.20.30.00 or 8308.20.60.00 is more appropriate.
- Application: How is the rivet being used? If it's a simple fastener for clothing or leather goods, 8308 is likely. If it's a structural component, 7318 may be better.
- Declaration: Ensure the product description on your customs declaration accurately reflects the rivet's material, processing, and intended use.
Actionable Steps:
- Verify Material: Confirm the exact composition of the rivets.
- Assess Processing: Determine if any brightening, lathe-turning, or machining has been performed.
- Review Application: Understand how the rivets will be used in the final product.
- Consult a Customs Broker: If you're unsure, it's best to consult with a qualified customs broker who can provide tailored advice based on your specific situation.
