Find HS Code and trade information for NANO AIR STONE

Okay, let's break down the HS codes and tax implications for your declared item "NANO AIR STONE" based on the provided data. It appears you have three potential HS code classifications, which is common for items with varied compositions. Here's a detailed analysis:

Understanding HS Codes – A Quick Primer

Before we dive in, remember that HS codes are standardized internationally. The first two digits generally indicate the chapter, the next two the subheading, and so on. More specific the code, the more accurate the classification and duty rate.

1. HS Code: 6914.90.80.00 – Other ceramic articles

• 69: Ceramic products. This chapter covers a wide range of ceramic items.
• 14: Ceramic articles for household or decorative use.
• 90: Other ceramic articles not specified elsewhere.

• 80.00: Further specifies the type of "other" ceramic article.

  Tax Implications: * Basic Duty: 5.6% * Additional Duty: 25.0% (currently) / 30.0% (after April 2, 2025) * Total Tax: 60.6%

  Considerations: This code is suitable if your Nano Air Stone is primarily made of ceramic. Please verify the exact ceramic composition. If other materials are significant, another code might be more appropriate.

2. HS Code: 3926.90.99.89 – Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials

• 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
• 26: Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials.
• 90: Other.

• 99.89: Further specifies the type of "other" article.

  Tax Implications: * Basic Duty: 5.3% * Additional Duty: 7.5% (currently) / 30.0% (after April 2, 2025) * Total Tax: 42.8%

  Considerations: This code applies if your Nano Air Stone is made of plastic or a combination of plastic and other materials. Confirm the plastic content and the nature of any other materials used.

3. HS Code: 7326.90.86.88 – Other articles of iron or steel

• 73: Articles of iron or steel.
• 26: Other articles of iron or steel.
• 90: Other.

• 86.88: Further specifies the type of "other" article.

  Tax Implications: * Basic Duty: 2.9% * Additional Duty: 25.0% (currently) / 30.0% (after April 2, 2025) – specifically for steel/aluminum products. * Total Tax: 82.9%

  Considerations: This code is relevant if your Nano Air Stone is made of iron or steel. Crucially, confirm the material composition. The high tax rate is due to the additional duty on steel/aluminum.

Recommendations & Next Steps:

1. Material Composition is Key: The most important step is to precisely determine the primary material(s) used in your Nano Air Stone. A lab test might be necessary for accurate classification.
2. Single Material vs. Composite: If it's a composite material, determine the percentage of each material. The dominant material dictates the HS code.
3. Intended Use: While less critical than material, the intended use of the air stone can sometimes help clarify the classification.
4. Review April 2, 2025 Changes: Be aware of the upcoming changes in additional duties.
5. Consider Certification: Depending on the final HS code and the destination country, you might need specific certifications (e.g., safety, quality). Please let me know the destination country, and I can advise on potential requirements.
6. Declare Accurately: Incorrect classification can lead to delays, penalties, and increased costs.

To help me narrow down the best HS code for you, could you please provide the following information?

• What is the primary material of the Nano Air Stone? (e.g., ceramic, plastic, iron, steel, a combination)
• If it's a combination, what is the approximate percentage of each material?
• What is the destination country for the shipment?
