Based on your input "NEEDLE" and the provided reference data, here's a breakdown of potential HS codes and relevant considerations:
Please note: "NEEDLE" is a very broad term. The correct HS code depends heavily on what kind of needle and what it's used for. The following assumes the needles are part of needlecraft sets, as described in the reference. If the needles are for other purposes (medical, industrial, etc.), different HS codes will apply.
Here's a classification based on the reference data, assuming the needles are within a needlecraft set:
-
6308000010: Needlecraft sets consisting of woven fabric and yarn, whether or not with accessories, for making up into rugs, tapestries, embroidered tablecloths or napkins, or similar textile articles, put up in packings for retail sale Containing wool yarn (469)
- 63: Chapter 63 – Other made up textile articles; sets for embroidery. This chapter broadly covers textile articles not specifically covered elsewhere.
- 08: Specifically refers to sets for embroidery, including those for making rugs, tapestries, etc.
- 00: Further specifies the sets.
- 00: Details the sets containing wool yarn.
- 10: The final two digits indicate a specific classification within the sets, in this case, those containing wool yarn.
- Tax Rate: Base Duty: 11.4%, Additional Tariff: 7.5%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total: 48.9%
-
6308000020: Needlecraft sets consisting of woven fabric and yarn, whether or not with accessories, for making up into rugs, tapestries, embroidered tablecloths or napkins, or similar textile articles, put up in packings for retail sale Other (669)
- 63: Chapter 63 – Other made up textile articles; sets for embroidery.
- 08: Specifically refers to sets for embroidery, including those for making rugs, tapestries, etc.
- 00: Further specifies the sets.
- 00: Details the sets.
- 20: The final two digits indicate a specific classification within the sets, in this case, other sets (not containing wool yarn).
- Tax Rate: Base Duty: 11.4%, Additional Tariff: 7.5%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total: 48.9%
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The key difference between
6308000010and6308000020is whether the set contains wool yarn. You must verify the yarn composition. If other materials are present (cotton, acrylic, etc.), this could affect the classification. - Set Contents: Confirm that the product is indeed a "set" as defined by customs – meaning it's packaged for retail sale and includes fabric, yarn, and potentially accessories for making textile articles.
- Accessories: The presence and type of accessories (e.g., hoops, patterns, needles themselves) may influence the classification.
- Post 2025.4.2 Tariff: Be aware of the additional tariff increase scheduled for April 2, 2025.
- Declaration Accuracy: Ensure the declared value and description accurately reflect the product's contents and purpose.
- Supporting Documentation: Have documentation available to support your classification, such as a packing list, commercial invoice, and material composition reports.
