Here's a classification breakdown for "EASY TO PULL BUCKLE" based on the provided reference data, presented in a structured format:
- 8308.90.60.00: Clasps, frames with clasps, buckles, buckle-clasps, hooks, eyes, eyelets and the like, of base metal, of a kind used for clothing or clothing accessories, footwear, jewelry, wrist watches, books, awnings, leather goods, travel goods or saddlery or for other made up articles; tubular or bifurcated rivets, of base metal; beads and spangles, of base metal: Other, including parts: Buckles and buckle clasps, and parts thereof.
- 83: Base metal articles (covers a wide range of non-precious metal items).
- 08: Clasps, buckles, etc. – specifically targets fastening devices.
- 90: Parts – indicates this covers components as well as finished buckles.
- 60: Other – a catch-all for buckles not specifically categorized elsewhere.
- Applicable Tax Rate: 58.9% (3.9% base tariff + 25% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025). This HS code is the most likely match if the buckle is used for clothing, accessories, or similar applications.
Important Considerations:
- Material Composition: The "base metal" designation is broad. Confirm the exact metal used (e.g., iron, zinc alloy, aluminum). Different metals could influence classification, though these are generally covered under 8308.
- End Use: The intended application of the buckle is crucial. If it's for a specialized purpose not covered in the description (e.g., industrial equipment), a different HS code might be more appropriate.
- Certification: Depending on the destination country, specific certifications (e.g., REACH compliance for certain metals) might be required.
- Single or Multiple Buckles: If importing a large quantity, confirm if the buckles are sold individually or as part of a set. This could affect tariff calculations.
- Price: The price of the buckle may affect the tariff calculation.
Disclaimer: This classification is based solely on the provided reference data and the limited product description. A definitive classification requires a thorough examination of the product and its intended use. It is recommended to consult with a customs broker or relevant authority for confirmation.
