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.
