Okay, let's break down the HS codes provided for your "MAGNETIC MOUNT" declaration. I'll explain each code, its meaning, and potential implications.
Understanding HS Codes – A Quick Primer
HS codes (Harmonized System codes) are internationally standardized codes used to classify traded products. They determine the import duties and taxes applicable to your goods. The first 6 digits are generally standardized globally, while additional digits can vary by country.
Here's a breakdown of each code you provided:
1. 8505.11.00.90 – Permanent Magnets & Articles to Become Permanent Magnets (Metal Other)
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recording or reproducing apparatus, television-image multiplier tubes.
- 05: Electromagnets; permanent magnets and articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetization; electromagnetic or permanent magnet chucks, clamps and similar holding devices; electromagnetic couplings, clutches and brakes; electromagnetic lifting heads; parts thereof.
- 11: Permanent magnets and articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetization.
- 00: Other (This specifies a more detailed category within permanent magnets).
- 90: Further specification (often country-specific).
- Tax: Base Rate 2.1%, Additional Tariff 0.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff 30%, Total 32.1%.
- Implication: This code is for permanent magnets made of metal. It's a relatively low-tariff classification.
2. 8505.19.10.00 – Permanent Magnets & Articles to Become Permanent Magnets (Flexible Magnets)
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recording or reproducing apparatus, television-image multiplier tubes.
- 05: Electromagnets; permanent magnets and articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetization; electromagnetic or permanent magnet chucks, clamps and similar holding devices; electromagnetic couplings, clutches and brakes; electromagnetic lifting heads; parts thereof.
- 19: Other permanent magnets.
- 10: Flexible magnets.
- 00: Further specification.
- Tax: Base Rate 4.9%, Additional Tariff 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff 30%, Total 59.9%.
- Implication: This code is specifically for flexible magnets. The tariff is significantly higher than 8505.11.00.90.
3. 8205.59.80.00 – Other Handtools (Including Glass Cutters) and Parts Thereof
- 82: Tools, implements, cutlery, hand tools, articles of cutlery.
- 05: Handtools (including glass cutters) not elsewhere specified or included; blow torches and similar self-contained torches; vises, clamps and the like, other than accessories for and parts of machine tools or water-jet cutting machines; anvils; portable forges; hand- or pedal-operated grinding wheels with frameworks; base metal parts thereof.
- 59: Other handtools (including glass cutters) and parts thereof.
- 80: Other.
- 00: Further specification.
- Tax: Base Rate 3.7%, Additional Tariff 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff 30%, Total 58.7%.
- Implication: This code is for handtools that don't fit into more specific categories.
4. 8205.70.00.90 – Vises, Clamps and the Like, and Parts Thereof
- 82: Tools, implements, cutlery, hand tools, articles of cutlery.
- 05: Handtools (including glass cutters) not elsewhere specified or included; blow torches and similar self-contained torches; vises, clamps and the like, other than accessories for and parts of machine tools or water-jet cutting machines; anvils; portable forges; hand- or pedal-operated grinding wheels with frameworks; base metal parts thereof.
- 70: Vises, clamps and the like, and parts thereof.
- 00: Further specification.
- Tax: Base Rate 5.0%, Additional Tariff 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff 30%, Total 60.0%.
- Implication: This code is specifically for vises and clamps.
5. 3926.90.99.89 – Other Articles of Plastics
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
- 26: Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914.
- 90: Other.
- 99: Other.
- 89: Further specification.
- Tax: Base Rate 5.3%, Additional Tariff 7.5%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff 30%, Total 42.8%.

6. 3901.90.90.00 – Polymers of Ethylene
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
- 01: Polymers of ethylene, in primary forms.
- 90: Other.
- 90: Other.
- 00: Further specification.
- Tax: Base Rate 6.5%, Additional Tariff 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff 30%, Total 61.5%.
- Implication: This code is for ethylene polymers in their raw form.
7. 3914.00.60.00 – Ion-Exchangers Based on Polymers
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
- 14: Ion-exchangers based on polymers of headings 3901 to 3913, in primary forms.
- 00: Other.
- 60: Other.
- 00: Further specification.
- Tax: Base Rate 3.9%, Additional Tariff 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff 30%, Total 58.9%.
- Implication: This code is for ion-exchange resins made from polymers.
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The difference between 8505.11 and 8505.19 is crucial. Precisely define the material of your magnets. Flexible magnets have a significantly higher tariff.
- Functionality: If your "magnetic mount" is a complete assembly, consider if it qualifies as a hand tool (8205.59 or 8205.70).
- Plastic Components: If plastic is a significant part of the mount, 3926.90 might be relevant.
- Raw Materials: If you're importing the raw materials to make the mount, the 3901 and 3914 codes apply.
- 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the significant tariff increases coming in April 2025.
- EORI Number: Ensure you have a valid EORI number for import.
- Commercial Invoice: Your commercial invoice must clearly describe the goods and their material composition.
- Country of Origin: The country of origin affects tariff rates and potential trade agreements.
To help me narrow down the most accurate HS code, please provide:
- Detailed description of the mount's construction: What materials are used (metal type, plastic type, etc.)?
- What is the primary function of the mount? (Holding, clamping, etc.)
- Is it a complete assembly or individual components?

Customer Reviews
I couldn't have done it without this page. The HS Code info and tariff rates were exactly what I needed for my business.
Very helpful for someone new to international trade. The 5% tariff rate was clearly explained and easy to understand.
Saved me hours of research. The tariff details and HS code explanation were spot on for my plastic door exports.
The information on HS Code 3925 is accurate, but I wish there were more examples of similar products included.
I was confused about the trade regulations for plastic doors, but this page made everything clear. Highly recommend it.
