Find HS Code and trade information for FLOWER STICKERS

Here's a classification breakdown for "FLOWER STICKERS" based on the provided reference data, aiming for the most accurate HS codes. Given the broad nature of "stickers," several codes could apply, so we'll cover the likely options and considerations.

• 4908. Transfers (decalcomanias): This is a strong possibility if the stickers are designed to be transferred onto a surface (like applying a design to pottery or glass).

  • 4908100000: Specifically for vitrifiable transfers. "Vitrifiable" means they become fused to the surface when heated. If your stickers require heat to adhere permanently, this is the code. 49 represents printed matter, 08 denotes decals.
  • 4908900000: For other transfers. If they don't require heat, or aren't specifically designed for vitrification, this is the more likely code. 49 represents printed matter, 08 denotes decals, 90 denotes other.
  • Total Tax Rate: 37.5% (0% base tariff + 7.5% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).

• 4911. Other printed matter, including printed pictures and photographs: This is relevant if the stickers are considered more generally as printed images.

  • 4911914040: "Other printed matter...Pictures, designs and photographs: Printed not over 20 years at time of importation: Other: Other Other". This is a broad category for printed pictures/designs not over 20 years old. 49 represents printed matter, 11 denotes other printed matter, 91 denotes pictures, designs and photographs.
  • 4911911500: "Other printed matter...Pictures, designs and photographs: Printed not over 20 years at time of importation: Suitable for use in the production of articles of heading 4901". If the stickers are specifically designed to be used in the production of other articles (e.g., labels for products), this code might apply. 49 represents printed matter, 11 denotes other printed matter, 91 denotes pictures, designs and photographs.
  • Total Tax Rate: 37.5% (0% base tariff + 7.5% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).

• 3926. Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: If the stickers are made of plastic, this category becomes relevant. However, without knowing the exact plastic type, it's hard to be precise.

  • 3926904000: "Other articles of plastics...Imitation gemstones". If the flower stickers are designed to look like gemstones, this code might apply. 39 represents plastics, 26 denotes other articles of plastics, 90 denotes other.
  • Total Tax Rate: 32.8% (2.8% base tariff + 0% additional tariff, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).

Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Material Composition: Crucially, determine the primary material of the stickers. Are they paper-based with an adhesive backing, plastic film, or another material? This will significantly narrow down the correct HS code.
• Adhesive Type: Is the adhesive permanent or removable?
• Intended Use: How are the stickers intended to be used? (e.g., decoration, labeling, transfer onto surfaces).
• Certification: Depending on the material and intended use, you may need certifications (e.g., for safety standards, environmental compliance).
• Date of Importation: Be mindful of the April 2, 2025, tariff change.
• Single Declaration: It is recommended to declare the most accurate HS code based on the material and function of the product. If you are unsure, consult with a customs broker or the customs authorities for guidance.
