Find HS Code and trade information for MANICURE SET

Okay, let's break down the HS codes and potential implications for your "MANICURE SET" declaration. Based on the information you provided, it seems you're dealing with a set that might fall into different categories depending on its composition. Here's a detailed analysis:

Understanding HS Codes - A Quick Primer

HS codes (Harmonized System codes) are internationally standardized codes used to classify traded products. The first 6 digits are generally consistent worldwide, while additional digits are used for more specific classifications by individual countries.

• Chapter (First 2 Digits): Broadly defines the type of product.
• Heading (First 4 Digits): More specific classification within the chapter.
• Subheading (First 6 Digits): Even more detailed classification.
• Additional Digits: Country-specific for tariff and statistical purposes.

Analysis of Your Provided Codes & Recommendations

1. "Travel sets for personal toilet, sewing or shoe or clothes cleaning (other than manicure and pedicure sets of heading 8214)"

   • HSCODE: (Currently blank - this is the key one we need to determine!)
   • Potential Chapter: Chapter 33 (Essential Oils and Resinoids; Perfumery, Cosmetic or Toilet Preparations) or Chapter 42 (Articles of Leather or of Composition Leather; Travel Goods, Handbags, and the Like). This depends heavily on the contents of the set.
   • Why it's important: If this is the correct classification, it excludes manicure/pedicure sets specifically (heading 8214).
   • Recommendation: Crucially, you need to determine the primary function of the set. If it's primarily for toiletries, Chapter 33 is more likely. If it contains leather goods (cases, pouches), Chapter 42 might be better. Provide a detailed list of all items within the travel set.

2. "Tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and hygienic or toilet articles, of plastics: Other: Other" - HSCODE: 3924.90.56.50

   • Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
   • Heading 3924: Tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and hygienic or toilet articles, of plastics.
   • Subheading 3924.90: Other.
   • Tax: Base Tariff: 3.4%, Additional Tariff: 7.5%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total Tax: 40.9%.
   • Relevance to Manicure Sets: If your manicure set includes plastic items (containers, tools with plastic handles), this code might apply to those specific components. However, it won't cover the entire set if it contains other materials.

3. "Other articles of leather or of composition leather: Other: Other: Other" - HSCODE: 4205.00.80.00

   • Chapter 42: Articles of Leather or of Composition Leather; Travel Goods, Handbags, and the Like.
   • Heading 4205: Other articles of leather or of composition leather, not elsewhere specified or included.
   • Subheading 4205.00: Other.
   • Tax: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total Tax: 55.0%.
   • Relevance to Manicure Sets: If the case or pouches holding the manicure tools are made of leather or composition leather, this code could be applicable.

Key Considerations & Next Steps

• Material Composition: This is the most important factor. What are the tools made of (stainless steel, plastic, wood)? What is the case made of (leather, plastic, fabric)?
• Set Function: Is it primarily a travel set with some manicure tools, or is it specifically a manicure set?
• 8214 (Manicure or Pedicure Sets): If the set exclusively contains manicure/pedicure tools, heading 8214 should be considered. However, the description you provided specifically excludes this.
• Single vs. Multiple Codes: You may need to declare the set using multiple HS codes if it contains items made of different materials.
• 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the upcoming tariff changes on April 2, 2025. The additional tariffs will increase significantly.

I strongly recommend you provide a detailed list of all items within the manicure set, including the materials they are made of. With that information, I can help you determine the most accurate HS code(s) and provide a more precise tax estimate.

Finally, please verify all information with your local customs authorities or a licensed customs broker. Regulations can vary.
