-
8308909000: Clasps, frames with clasps, buckles, buckle-clasps, hooks, eyes, eyelets and the like, of base metal, of a kind used for clothing or clothing accessories, footwear, jewelry, wrist watches, books, awnings, leather goods, travel goods or saddlery or for other made up articles; tubular or bifurcated rivets, of base metal; beads and spangles, of base metal: Other, including parts: Other
- 83: Base metal articles. This broadly covers items made from materials like iron, steel, copper, aluminum, etc.
- 08: Articles of base metal not elsewhere specified. This is a catch-all for many metal hardware items.
- 90: Other, including parts. This indicates a more specific category within the broader hardware group.
- Relevance: This is the most likely HS code, as a tablecloth clip is a metal hardware item used with made-up articles (tablecloths).
- Tax Rate: Total 57.7% (Basic tariff: 2.7%, Additional tariff: 25.0%, Additional tariff after 2025.4.2: 30%)

- Tax Rate: Total 35.8% (Basic tariff: 5.8%, Additional tariff: 0.0%, Additional tariff after 2025.4.2: 30%)
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The primary material of the clip is crucial. If it's not base metal (e.g., plastic, wood), these HS codes are incorrect.
- Functionality: If the clip has a specialized function beyond simply holding a tablecloth in place (e.g., a spring-loaded mechanism, a unique design for specific table types), it might fall under a different category.
- Decorative Elements: If the clip is heavily ornamented and considered a decorative item, HS code 8306 might be more appropriate.
- Certification: Depending on the destination country, you may need to provide material safety certifications or compliance reports.
- Post-April 2, 2025 Tariffs: Be aware of the tariff changes taking effect after April 2, 2025. The additional tariff will increase from 25% to 30%.
- Precise Description: Provide a detailed product description to customs officials to avoid delays or misclassification.
- Single Declaration: Please confirm the final HS code with your customs broker or the customs authority in the importing country.
