HS Code Analysis & Customs Considerations

You've provided two HS codes, each relating to a different item. We'll examine each one separately.

1. LAPTOP STAND WHITE - HS Code: 3926.90.99.89

• HS Code Breakdown:

  • 39: Plastics and articles thereof. This chapter covers a wide range of plastic products.
  • 26: Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914. This narrows it down to specific plastic articles, or articles combining plastic with other materials.
  • 90: Other. This indicates the item doesn't fit into more specific categories within 3926.
  • 99: Other. Further specifies the item within the "Other" category.
  • 89: This is a very specific sub-classification, often used for miscellaneous plastic articles.

• Product Description Fit: "LAPTOP STAND WHITE" generally aligns with this HS code, assuming it's primarily made of plastic. If other materials (like metal) are significant components, a different HS code might be more appropriate.

• Tax Implications:

  • Basic Duty: 5.3%
  • Additional Duty: 7.5%
  • Post April 2, 2025 Additional Duty: 30%
  • Total Tax (Current): 42.8%
  • Total Tax (Post April 2, 2025): 30%

• Important Considerations:

  • Material Composition: Crucially, confirm the primary material of the laptop stand. If it contains a significant amount of metal (e.g., aluminum legs), the HS code could change to a metal-based classification (e.g., under Chapter 73 or 76).
  • Single Piece vs. Assembly: If the stand is shipped disassembled, the rules for classifying components may apply.
  • Valuation: The declared value (single price) will impact the total tax amount. Ensure accurate valuation.

2. Of bamboo: Canoe paddles - HS Code: 4421.91.88.00

• HS Code Breakdown:

  • 44: Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal. This chapter covers products made from wood.
  • 21: Articles of wood for furniture. This narrows it down to wood articles used in furniture.
  • 91: Other. This indicates the item doesn't fit into more specific categories within 4421.
  • 88: Of bamboo. This specifies the item is made of bamboo.
  • 00: Further specifies the item within the "Of bamboo" category.

• Product Description Fit: "Of bamboo: Canoe paddles" aligns with this HS code.

• Tax Implications:

  • Basic Duty: 0.0%
  • Additional Duty: 0.0%
  • Post April 2, 2025 Additional Duty: 30%
  • Total Tax (Current): 30%
  • Total Tax (Post April 2, 2025): 30%

• Important Considerations:

  • Bamboo Purity: Confirm the paddles are entirely made of bamboo. Any use of other materials (e.g., metal fittings, plastic grips) could necessitate a different HS code.
  • Treatment/Finishing: The type of treatment or finishing applied to the bamboo (e.g., varnishing, staining) generally doesn't change the HS code, but it's good to be aware of.
