Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The key differentiator between 8308.20.30.00 and 8308.20.60.00 is the material and surface treatment of the rivets. If your rivets are made of iron or steel and have not been brightened, lathed, or machined, use 8308.20.30.00. Otherwise, use 8308.20.60.00.
- Surface Treatment: "Brightened" refers to any process that makes the metal shinier. "Lathed" and "machined" refer to processes that change the shape or surface of the metal.
- Accuracy is Crucial: Selecting the correct HS code is vital for accurate customs declaration and avoiding potential penalties.
- Supporting Documentation: Be prepared to provide documentation (e.g., material specifications, manufacturing process details) to support your HS code selection.
- Post 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the additional tariff increase scheduled for April 2, 2025.
- Further Verification: If your rivets have unique characteristics or are used in a specialized application, it's recommended to consult with a customs broker or the relevant customs authority for confirmation.
