HARDWIRE KIT HS Code Classification
Based on the provided reference data and the general description of "HARDWIRE KIT", here's a breakdown of potential HS code classifications. It's crucial to understand the exact composition of the kit to determine the most accurate code. A "HARDWIRE KIT" can contain various components, leading to different classifications.
Here are potential classifications, with explanations:
-
8548000000 - Electrical parts of machinery or apparatus, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter.
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment, parts thereof.
- 48: Electrical parts of machinery or apparatus.
- 000000: General classification for unspecified electrical parts.
- Applicability: This is a broad category and could apply if the kit contains a variety of generic electrical components not fitting into more specific categories. However, it's often a "catch-all" and customs may require more detail. Total Tax Rate: 55.0%
-
8544110020 - Insulated (including enameled or anodized) wire, cable (including coaxial cable) and other insulated electric conductors, whether or not fitted with connectors; optical fiber cables, made up of individually sheathed fibers, whether or not assembled with electric conductors or fitted with connectors: Winding wire: Of copper 33 AWG (0.18 mm in diameter) and finer.
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment, parts thereof.
- 44: Insulated conductors.
- 11: Winding wire.
- 0020: Specifically for copper winding wire 33 AWG and finer.
- Applicability: If the kit primarily contains fine copper winding wire (33 AWG or smaller), this is a strong possibility. Total Tax Rate: 58.5%
-
8544110030 - Insulated (including enameled or anodized) wire, cable (including coaxial cable) and other insulated electric conductors, whether or not fitted with connectors; optical fiber cables, made up of individually sheathed fibers, whether or not assembled with electric conductors or fitted with connectors: Winding wire: Of copper 22 AWG (0.643 mm in diameter) and finer but larger than 33 AWG (0.18 mm in diameter)
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment, parts thereof.
- 44: Insulated conductors.
- 11: Winding wire.
- 0030: Specifically for copper winding wire between 22 AWG and 33 AWG.
- Applicability: If the kit primarily contains copper winding wire between 22 AWG and 33 AWG, this is a strong possibility. Total Tax Rate: 58.5%
-
7326908605 - Other articles of iron or steel: Other: Other: Other: Rods for electrical grounding.
- 73: Articles of iron or steel.
- 26: Other articles of iron or steel.
- 90: Other.
- 86: Other.
- 05: Rods for electrical grounding.
- Applicability: If the kit contains grounding rods made of iron or steel, this code applies. Total Tax Rate: 82.9%
-
7326908688 - Other articles of iron or steel: Other: Other: Other: Other Other
- 73: Articles of iron or steel.
- 26: Other articles of iron or steel.
- 90: Other.
- 86: Other.
- 88: Other.
- Applicability: This is a very broad category for iron or steel articles not specifically classified elsewhere. It's likely to require a detailed description of the components. Total Tax Rate: 82.9%
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Component Breakdown: Provide a detailed list of all components included in the "HARDWIRE KIT" (e.g., wire gauge, connector types, material of connectors, presence of grounding rods, etc.).
- Material Verification: Confirm the material composition of all components (especially connectors and rods). Steel, aluminum, or other materials will affect the HS code.
- 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the tariff changes taking effect on April 2, 2025, particularly the increased tariffs on steel and aluminum products.
- Certification: Depending on the application of the kit, specific certifications (e.g., UL listing, CE marking) may be required for import.
- Customs Ruling: If the kit's composition is complex or unclear, consider obtaining a binding customs ruling to ensure accurate classification and avoid potential delays or penalties.
Customer Reviews
The tariff rates and effective dates for each HS code are clearly presented. This made it easy to plan my export strategy for the HARDWIRE KIT.
I found the HS code 7326908605 a bit confusing, but the note about grounding rods helped. It would be great if there were more visuals to clarify the components.
The detailed explanation of the 8544110020 HS code was exactly what I needed. The info on copper wire gauge and tax rates made it easier to classify my kit.
The breakdown of HS code 8548000000 was incredibly helpful. I was able to understand the tax implications for exporting my HARDWIRE KIT to the US.
