Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The high tariff rate for 9603.90.80.50 is heavily influenced by the material of the brush and handle (steel/aluminum vs. other materials). Confirm the exact materials used.
- Functionality: If the brush is specifically designed for grilling (e.g., with a scraping edge or heat-resistant features), 8205.51.30.30 might be more appropriate, classifying it as a kitchen implement.
- Handle Material: The handle's material can influence the HS code. If it's plastic, consider checking codes within Chapter 39 (Plastics).
- Detailed Description: Provide a very detailed description of the brush to customs officials, including dimensions, materials, and intended use.
- Certification: Depending on the destination country, you may need to provide certifications related to food safety (if it comes into contact with food) or material composition.
- Post-April 2, 2025 Tariffs: Be aware of the tariff changes coming into effect on April 2, 2025, especially the increased tariffs on steel and aluminum products.
It is highly recommended to consult with a licensed customs broker or official in your importing country for a definitive HS code classification.
