Based on the provided reference data, classifying "MOSQUITO KILLER" requires considering the product's specific nature and function. Here's a breakdown of potential HS codes, along with explanations:

• 8424.89.90.00: Mechanical appliances for projecting, dispersing or spraying liquids or powders; fire extinguishers…; parts thereof: Other appliances: Other.
  • 84: Chapter 84 covers nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances.
  • 24: Specifically addresses machinery for projecting, dispersing, or spraying.
  • 89: Covers "other" appliances within this category.
  • 90: Further specifies "other" within the "other" category.
  • Applicability: This code is suitable if the mosquito killer functions by mechanically projecting or spraying insecticides (e.g., aerosol sprayers, foggers). Total Tax Rate: 56.8%
• 8479.89.95.99: Machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts thereof: Other machines and mechanical appliances: Other: Other Other.
  • 84: Chapter 84 - Machinery and mechanical appliances.
  • 79: Covers machines with individual functions not elsewhere specified.
  • 89: "Other" machines and appliances.
  • 95: Further specifies "other" within the "other" category.
  • 99: Even further specifies "other" within the "other" category.
  • Applicability: This code is appropriate if the mosquito killer is a more complex device with a specific, non-spraying function (e.g., electronic insect traps, UV light traps). Total Tax Rate: 57.5% (Note: This rate is contingent on material – steel/aluminum incurs a 25% additional tariff).
• 3808.91.10.00: Insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides…; put up in forms or packings for retail sale: Other: Insecticides: Fly ribbons (ribbon fly catchers).
  • 38: Chapter 38 covers chemical products.
  • 08: Specifically addresses insecticides, rodenticides, etc.
  • 91: Covers "other" insecticides put up for retail sale.
  • 10: Specifically for fly ribbons.
  • Applicability: If the "MOSQUITO KILLER" is a fly ribbon or similar passive insecticide strip, this is the correct code. Total Tax Rate: 57.8%
• 3808.99.08.00: Insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides…; put up in forms or packings for retail sale: Other: Other: Containing any aromatic or modified aromatic pesticide: Other.

  • 99: Covers "other" insecticides.
  • 08: Specifically for insecticides containing aromatic pesticides.
  • Applicability: If the "MOSQUITO KILLER" is an insecticide product (liquid, coil, etc.) containing aromatic pesticides, this code may apply. Total Tax Rate: 61.5%

Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Product Function: The primary function of the mosquito killer is crucial. Is it a mechanical sprayer, an electronic trap, or a chemical insecticide?
• Form of Product: Is it a liquid, coil, strip, or a complete device?
• Chemical Composition: If it's a chemical insecticide, identify the active ingredients. Aromatic pesticides will affect the HS code.
• Material: For 8479.89.95.99, confirm the material composition (steel, aluminum, plastic, etc.) as this impacts the tariff rate.
• Certification: Depending on the chemical composition, you may need to provide safety data sheets (SDS) and other compliance certifications.
• Single vs. Multiple Components: If the product is a device containing both mechanical and chemical components, the classification becomes more complex and may require a ruling from customs.

Disclaimer: This information is for general guidance only. The final HS code determination rests with customs authorities. It is recommended to consult with a licensed customs broker or seek an official binding ruling from your local customs office to ensure accurate classification and compliance.
