Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Material Composition: The final HS code depends heavily on the primary material of the fruit basket. If it's a combination of materials, the code for the dominant material should be used.
• Single vs. Multiple Components: If the fruit basket is sold as a set with multiple components (e.g., basket + plastic liner + metal handle), you may need to classify each component separately or find a composite HS code if available.
• Post April 2, 2025 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the significant tariff increases scheduled for April 2, 2025.
• Certification: Depending on the intended use (e.g., food contact), you may need to provide certifications such as food safety certificates.
• Accurate Valuation: Ensure the declared value (single price) is accurate, as this impacts the tax calculation.
• Consult with a Licensed Customs Broker: For complex classifications or large shipments, it's highly recommended to consult with a licensed customs broker in China. They can provide expert guidance and ensure compliance with all regulations.
