HS Code Classification & Tax Details for Your Declared Goods
Here's a breakdown of the HS codes provided, along with detailed tax information and important considerations. This analysis aims to provide clarity on the classification and potential duties associated with importing these goods from China (CN).
Understanding HS Codes
The Harmonized System (HS) code is a globally standardized system of names and numbers used to classify traded products. It's crucial for determining tariffs, trade statistics, and regulatory requirements. Here's a general breakdown of the HS code structure (using an example like 9503.00.00.71):
- First 2 Digits (95): Chapter – Broadly categorizes the product. In this case, "95" represents Toys, Games and Sports Equipment; Gymnastics, Athletic or Sporting Articles; Parts and Accessories Thereof.
- Next 2 Digits (03): Heading – Further refines the category within the chapter. "03" specifies Tricycles, scooters, pedal cars and similar wheeled toys; dolls’ carriages; dolls, other toys.
- Next 2 Digits (00): Subheading – Provides a more specific classification. "00" further defines the category.
- Last 2 Digits (71): Specific Item Code – The most detailed level of classification. "71" denotes Other within the specified category, specifically for products labeled or determined for use by children under 3 years of age.

Customer Reviews
The HS code 9304006000 section was informative, but I wish there were more examples of what qualifies as 'other arms' for clarity.
Great resource for understanding the different HS codes for gel balls. The 3901101000 section had all the technical specs I needed for polyethylene.
The information on HS code 3926909910 was helpful, especially the note about confirming the product is for laboratory use. Good detail for avoiding misclassification.
Finally found the right HS code for my gel balls! The breakdown of 9503000071 was clear and helped me understand the 30% tariff rate.
