Important Considerations:
- Material Composition: The classification assumes the nail clippers are made of base metal. If they contain other materials (e.g., ivory, bone, plastic), a different HS code might be applicable.
- Set vs. Single Item: If the nail clippers are part of a manicure/pedicure set, 8214.20.30.00 is the more appropriate code. If sold individually, 8214.90.90.00 is likely correct.
- Certification: Depending on the destination country, you may need to provide certificates of origin or compliance with safety standards.
- Post-2025.4.2 Tariffs: Be aware of the significant tariff increases scheduled for April 2, 2025.
Recommendation:
To ensure accurate classification, please provide the following information:
- The exact material composition of the nail clippers.
- Whether the nail clippers are sold individually or as part of a set.
- The destination country for the shipment.
This will allow for a more precise determination of the correct HS code and applicable tariffs.
