Find HS Code and trade information for MOUTHWASH MACHINE

Okay, let's break down the HS codes you've provided for your "MOUTHWASH MACHINE" declaration. I'll give you a detailed analysis, potential issues, and recommendations.

Understanding HS Codes – A Quick Primer

HS codes (Harmonized System codes) are internationally standardized codes used to classify traded products. They're crucial for determining tariffs, taxes, and import/export regulations. The first 6 digits are generally consistent worldwide, while the last digits can vary by country.

Here's a breakdown of each code you provided:

1. 8479.89.65 – Machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter; parts thereof: Other machines and mechanical appliances: Other: Electromechanical appliances with self-contained electric motor: Other

• 84: Chapter 84 – Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof. This broadly covers a wide range of machines.
• 8479: Specifically, machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions. This means it's not a general-purpose machine but designed for a specific task.
• 8479.89: Other machines and mechanical appliances. This is a subcategory for machines not specifically listed elsewhere.

• 8479.89.65: Electromechanical appliances with self-contained electric motor: Other. This suggests your mouthwash machine is powered by its own electric motor and isn't a manually operated device.

  • Tax: The tax information retrieval failed. This is a problem. We need to determine the exact tax rate. This code could be suitable, but we need to confirm.

2. Unknown – HS Code is Missing

• This is a critical issue. You must have a valid HS code for every item you declare. Without it, customs will likely delay your shipment and you may face penalties. We need to determine the correct code for this item. What is the function of this item? Is it a part of the machine in code 8479.89.65?

3. 3924.90.56.50 – Tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and hygienic or toilet articles, of plastics: Other: Other Other

• 39: Chapter 39 – Plastics and articles thereof.
• 3924: Tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and hygienic or toilet articles, of plastics.
• 3924.90: Other. This is a catch-all for plastic items not specifically listed.

• 3924.90.56.50: Other: Other Other. This is a very broad subcategory.

  • Tax: 基础关税 (Basic Tariff): 3.4%, 加征关税 (Additional Tariff): 7.5%. Post April 2nd, 2025, the additional tariff increases to 30%. Total tax: 40.9%. This code is likely for plastic components if they are made of plastic.

4. 7326.90.86.88 – Other articles of iron or steel: Other: Other: Other: Other Other

• 73: Chapter 73 – Iron or steel articles.
• 7326: Other articles of iron or steel.
• 7326.90: Other. Again, a broad category.

• 7326.90.86.88: Other: Other: Other: Other Other. Very broad.

  • Tax: 基础关税: 2.9%, 加征关税: 25.0%. Post April 2nd, 2025, the additional tariff increases to 30% for steel/aluminum products. Total tax: 82.9%. This code is likely for iron or steel components.

Recommendations & Next Steps:

1. Identify All Components: Break down your "MOUTHWASH MACHINE" into every individual component. What is it made of (plastic, metal, etc.)? What is the function of each part?
2. Clarify the Machine's Function: Is it a fully automated machine, or does it require manual input? This will help determine the correct HS code.
3. Re-evaluate 8479.89.65: This is the most likely code for the core machine, but we need to confirm. Provide more details about its operation.
4. Address the "Unknown" Code: This is critical. You must find a valid HS code for this item.
5. Material Verification: Confirm the exact materials used in each component. This is crucial for accurate tariff classification.
6. Tax Rate Confirmation: The tax information retrieval failed for 8479.89.65. You must confirm the correct tax rate with a customs broker or through the official customs website for China.
7. Consider a Customs Broker: Given the complexity, I strongly recommend consulting a licensed customs broker in China. They can provide expert guidance and ensure accurate classification.
8. Certification: Depending on the function of the machine, you may need to provide certifications (e.g., safety certifications, CE marking). Check the relevant regulations for your specific product.

Important Note: HS code classification is complex and can be subjective. The final determination rests with customs officials. Providing accurate information and seeking expert advice is essential to avoid delays and penalties.

To help me refine the classification, please provide the following information:

• A detailed description of the machine's function.
• A list of all components and their materials.
• The intended use of the machine (e.g., household, commercial, medical).
