Find HS Code and trade information for LAUNDRYBAGS

Okay, let's break down the classification and tax implications for your declared items – LAUNDRYBAGS – based on the HS codes provided. I'll provide a structured analysis to help you understand the details.

Important Note: While I can provide guidance, the final classification and tax assessment are always determined by the customs authorities in the importing country. This information is for preliminary understanding only.

1. HS Code: 3923.21.00.80 – Sacks and Bags (including cones) of Polymers of Ethylene

• Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof. This indicates the primary material of the laundry bags is plastic.
• 3923: Articles for the conveyance or packing of goods, of plastics; stoppers, lids, caps and other closures, of plastics. This narrows it down to items used for packing or transporting goods.
• 3923.21: Sacks and bags (including cones) of polymers of ethylene. Specifically, bags made from polyethylene (PE) plastic – a common material for laundry bags.

• 3923.21.00.80: This is a more specific sub-classification, likely indicating "Other" types of polyethylene laundry bags. The "00.80" often denotes a further refinement within the category.

  • Tax Implications:

    • Basic Duty: 3.0%
    • Additional Duty: 25.0% (currently)
    • Post April 2, 2025: Additional Duty increases to 30.0%
    • Total Tax: 58.0%

  • Important Considerations:

    • Material Verification: Crucially, confirm the bags are exclusively made of polymers of ethylene. If other materials are present (e.g., nylon, cotton), the HS code will change.
    • Single Side Length: The description mentions "With no single side exceeding 75 mm in length". This dimension is important for classification. Ensure your bags meet this requirement.

2. HS Code: 6307.90.98.91 – Other made up articles, including dress patterns: Other: Other: Other

• Chapter 63: Other made up textile articles; sets of textile articles. This suggests the laundry bags are made of textile materials.
• 6307: Other made up articles, including dress patterns. This is a broad category.
• 6307.90: Other. This indicates the bags don't fall into more specific textile categories.
• 6307.90.98: Other. Further refinement within the "Other" category.

• 6307.90.98.91: This is a very general "Other" classification. It often applies to items that don't fit neatly into other textile subheadings.

  • Tax Implications:

    • Basic Duty: 7.0%
    • Additional Duty: 0.0% (currently)
    • Post April 2, 2025: Additional Duty increases to 30.0%
    • Total Tax: 37.0%

  • Important Considerations:

    • Material Composition: Verify the exact textile composition. The HS code is heavily dependent on the fabric used (e.g., cotton, polyester, nylon).
    • Functionality: Confirm the bags are primarily used as laundry bags.

3. HS Code: 7323.99.00.00 – Other Table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof, of iron or steel

• Chapter 73: Articles of iron or steel. This indicates the laundry bags are made of iron or steel.
• 7323: Table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof, of iron or steel.
• 7323.99: Other. This indicates the bags don't fall into more specific iron or steel categories.

• 7323.99.00.00: This is a very general "Other" classification.

  • Tax Implications:

    • Tax Information Failed to Retrieve: The system was unable to retrieve tax information for this HS code. This is unusual.
    • Action Required: You MUST contact your customs broker or the customs authorities to determine the applicable tax rate for this HS code.

  • Important Considerations:

    • Material Verification: Confirm the bags are made of iron or steel. This seems less likely for laundry bags, so double-check the material.
    • Construction: How are the iron or steel components used? (e.g., frame, wire support).

General Recommendations:

• Detailed Product Specifications: Have complete specifications for each type of laundry bag, including material composition, dimensions, weight, and construction details.
• Supplier Documentation: Obtain a detailed packing list and commercial invoice from your supplier.
• Customs Broker: I strongly recommend working with a licensed customs broker in the importing country. They can provide expert guidance on classification, valuation, and compliance.
• Ruling Request: If you are unsure about the correct classification, consider requesting a binding ruling from the customs authorities. This provides legal certainty.
• April 2, 2025 Changes: Be aware of the upcoming changes to additional duties on April 2, 2025.
