- Completeness: Shoelaces are generally considered parts of footwear, not complete footwear themselves.
- Review 6406: Carefully review the full scope of HS code 6406 to ensure the shoelaces aren't specifically excluded or covered by a more precise subheading.
- Post-April 2, 2025: Be aware of the increased additional tariff (30%) taking effect after April 2, 2025.
- Supplier Documentation: Obtain a detailed material composition list from your supplier to support your classification.
- Customs Ruling (Optional): For complex cases or high-value shipments, consider obtaining a binding customs ruling to ensure accurate classification and avoid potential penalties.
Customer Reviews
I found the HS code 4203406000 for my plastic shoelaces, and the 55% tariff rate was clearly listed. The explanation about material composition was a great reminder to double-check with my supplier.
The information is detailed, but I wish there was a clearer way to determine the material composition. I had to look up the supplier's documentation to confirm the classification.
The breakdown of the HS code 6406901580 was very helpful. I learned that textile shoelaces fall under this category, and the additional tariff info after April 2025 was useful for planning.
