✅ Product Classification: Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Raw Material
HS CODE: 3901.10.50.20 / 3901.90.90.00 / 3901.90.55.01 (multiple applicable codes based on specific product details)
🔍 HS Code Overview and Tax Details
- Base Tariff Rate: 6.5%
- Additional Tariff (General): 25.0%
- Special Tariff (After April 11, 2025): 30.0%
- Total Tax Rate: 61.5% (6.5% + 25.0% + 30.0%)
📌 Key Notes on Classification and Taxation
- HS Code 3901.10.50.20
- Applies to non-linear low-density polyethylene (LDPE) with a specific density (<0.94).
-
This code is more specific and should be used if the product is clearly non-linear LDPE.
-
HS Code 3901.90.90.00 / 3901.90.55.01
- Applies to other forms of LDPE, including ethylene copolymers or other primary forms of LDPE.
- These codes are broader and may be used if the product is not clearly non-linear LDPE.
⚠️ Time-Sensitive Policy Alert
- April 11, 2025 Special Tariff:
- An additional 30.0% tariff will be imposed on this product after April 11, 2025.
- This is a critical date for customs clearance planning and cost estimation.
📦 Customs Compliance Considerations
- Material Verification:
- Confirm the exact type of LDPE (linear vs. non-linear) and density to ensure correct HS code classification.
-
If the product is a copolymer, ensure it is classified under the appropriate 3901.90 code.
-
Unit Price and Certification:
- Verify the unit price and certifications required (e.g., material safety data sheets, origin documentation, etc.).
-
Some countries may require origin certification or customs valuation documentation.
-
Documentation:
- Ensure all technical specifications (e.g., density, polymer type, molecular weight) are included in the customs declaration.
- This helps avoid reclassification or delays at the border.
📌 Proactive Advice for Importers
- Double-check the product’s chemical structure and density to determine the correct HS code.
- Plan for the April 11, 2025 tariff increase to avoid unexpected costs.
- Consult with a customs broker or compliance expert if the product is borderline between classifications (e.g., linear vs. non-linear LDPE).
