Declaration Item Classification Report: FLOATING LIGHTS

This report details the classification of your declared items, providing HS codes, tax information, and important considerations for customs clearance.

Understanding HS Codes:

The Harmonized System (HS) code is a standardized numerical method used worldwide to classify traded products. It's crucial for determining tariffs, regulations, and statistical tracking. Here's a breakdown of the HS code structure (using a 6-digit example):

• First 2 Digits (Chapter): Broadly defines the product category.
• Next 2 Digits (Subheading): Narrows down the product within the chapter.
• Last 2 Digits (Item): Specifies the exact product.

1. Other floating structures (for example, rafts, tanks, cofferdams, landing-stages, buoys and beacons): Other Other

• HS Code: 8907.90.00.90
• Chapter 89: Ships, boats and other vessels for transporting persons or goods. This chapter covers various watercraft.
• Subheading 8907: Other floating structures (for example, rafts, tanks, cofferdams, landing-stages, buoys and beacons).
• Item 8907.90.00.90: Other. This is a residual category for floating structures not specifically classified elsewhere within 8907.
• Tax Details:
  • Basic Tariff: 0.0%
  • Additional Tariff: 7.5%
  • Additional Tariff (after April 2, 2025): 30%
  • Total Tax: 37.5%
• Considerations: Ensure the item truly qualifies as a "floating structure." The material composition and intended use are important.

2. Portable electric lamps designed to function by their own source of energy (for example, dry batteries, storage batteries, magnetos), other than lighting equipment of heading 8512; parts thereof: Lamps: Other

• HS Code: 8513.10.40.00
• Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment.
• Subheading 8513: Portable electric lamps designed to function by their own source of energy.
• Item 8513.10.40.00: Lamps: Other. This covers portable lamps not specifically classified elsewhere within 8513.
• Tax Details:
  • Basic Tariff: 3.5%
  • Additional Tariff: 0.0%
  • Additional Tariff (after April 2, 2025): 30%
  • Total Tax: 33.5%
• Considerations: Confirm the lamp operates solely on its own power source (batteries, etc.). If it requires external power, a different HS code may apply.

3. Hydrometers and similar floating instruments, whether or not incorporating a thermometer, non-recording

• HS Code: 9025.80.20.00
• Chapter 90: Optical, precision, medical, surgical, dental, veterinary instruments and appliances.
• Subheading 9025: Hydrometers and similar floating instruments.
• Item 9025.80.20.00: Non-recording. This specifies instruments that do not automatically record measurements.
• Tax Details:
  • Basic Tariff: 2.9%
  • Additional Tariff: 25.0%
  • Additional Tariff (after April 2, 2025): 30%
  • Total Tax: 57.9%
• Considerations: Verify the instrument is primarily used for measuring liquid density or specific gravity.

4. Polymers of ethylene, in primary forms: Other: Elastomeric

• HS Code: 3901.90.10.00
• Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
• Subheading 3901: Polymers of ethylene, in primary forms.
• Item 3901.90.10.00: Elastomeric. This covers ethylene polymers with rubber-like properties.
• Tax Details:
  • Basic Tariff: 0.0%
  • Additional Tariff: 25.0%
  • Additional Tariff (after April 2, 2025): 30%
  • Total Tax: 55.0%
• Considerations: Confirm the material is indeed a polymer of ethylene and possesses elastomeric properties. The specific grade and composition are important.

5. Festive, carnival or other entertainment articles, including magic tricks and practical joke articles; parts and accessories thereof: Articles for Christmas festivities and parts and accessories thereof: Other: Of plastics Other

• HS Code: 9505.10.40.20
• Chapter 95: Toys, games and sports equipment.
• Subheading 9505: Festive, carnival or other entertainment articles.
• Item 9505.10.40.20: Articles for Christmas festivities and parts and accessories thereof: Other: Of plastics.
• Tax Details:

• Considerations: Ensure the item is primarily intended for entertainment or festive purposes.

Important Reminders:

• Material Composition: The exact material composition of each item is crucial for accurate classification.
• Intended Use: The primary function and intended use of the item are key factors.
• Additional Tariffs: Be aware of the additional tariffs scheduled to take effect after April 2, 2025.
• Certifications: Depending on the nature of the items, you may need to provide certifications (e.g., safety standards, origin certificates).
• Single Invoice: Ensure all items on a single invoice are classified correctly and consistently.
