Find HS Code and trade information for ELASTIC THREAD

Here's a classification of "ELASTIC THREAD" based on the provided reference data and common trade practices. Please note that the final HS code determination depends on the exact material composition and intended use of the thread.

Possible HS Code Classifications:

1. 4205.00.05.00 - Other articles of leather or of composition leather: Of a kind used in machinery or mechanical appliances or for other technical uses: Belting leather cut or wholly or partly manufactured into forms or shapes suitable for conversion into belting

   • 42: Articles of leather; saddlery and harness; articles of animal gut (other than silkworm gut) and of goldbeater's skin. (This chapter broadly covers products made from leather and related materials.)
   • 05: Other articles of leather or of composition leather. (This narrows it down to items not specifically classified elsewhere in the chapter.)
   • 00.05.00: Specifically for leather used in machinery or technical applications. If the elastic thread is made of leather or a leather composite and is used in a mechanical context (e.g., in sewing machines or industrial applications), this code may be applicable.
   • Tax Details: Base Tariff: 2.9%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total Tariff: 57.9%.

2. 4206.00.90.00 - Articles of gut (other than silkworm gut), of goldbeater's skin, of bladders or of tendons: Other

   • 42: Articles of leather; saddlery and harness; articles of animal gut (other than silkworm gut) and of goldbeater's skin.
   • 06: Articles of gut (other than silkworm gut), of goldbeater's skin, of bladders or of tendons. (This code is for products made from animal guts, goldbeater's skin, etc.)
   • 00.90.00: "Other" – This is a catch-all for gut articles not specifically listed elsewhere. If the elastic thread is made from animal gut (e.g., catgut, though less common for elastic threads), this code could be relevant.
   • Tax Details: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 0.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total Tariff: 30.0%.

Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Material Composition: The most crucial factor is the material the thread is made from. Is it natural rubber, synthetic rubber (like spandex/elastane), nylon, polyester, or a blend? Different materials will fall under different HS codes.
• Intended Use: How will the thread be used? Is it for clothing, industrial applications, medical purposes, or something else?
• Textile vs. Technical Use: If the thread is primarily for textiles (e.g., clothing), it may fall under Chapter 56 (Wadding, felt, non-woven fabrics, etc.) or Chapter 57 (Carpets, textiles). If it's for technical applications (e.g., in machinery), Chapter 42 might be more appropriate.
• Certification: Depending on the intended use (e.g., medical), specific certifications (e.g., biocompatibility) may be required.

Next Steps:

1. Provide the exact material composition of the elastic thread.
2. Describe the intended use of the thread in detail.
3. Confirm the single price of the thread

With this additional information, I can provide a more accurate HS code classification.
