Based on the provided reference data and your input "NYLON REPAIR PATCHES", here's a breakdown of potential HS code classifications, along with explanations and considerations:
-
3908.10.00.00 - Polyamides in primary forms: Polyamide-6, -11, -12, -6,6, -6,9, -6,10 or -6,12 (61.3% total tax rate)
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof. This chapter broadly covers plastic materials.
- 08: Polyamides. Specifically refers to nylon in its raw or primary form.
- 10: Further specifies various types of polyamide (nylon).
- Consideration: If the patches are made directly from polyamide resins (e.g., nylon 6, nylon 6,6) and haven't undergone significant processing beyond forming the basic shape, this HS code is a strong possibility.
-
3908.90.70.00 - Polyamides in primary forms: Other: Other (61.5% total tax rate)
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
- 08: Polyamides.
- 90: Other polyamides. This is a broader category for polyamides not specifically listed elsewhere.
- 70: Further specifies 'other' polyamide products.
- Consideration: If the patches are made from a polyamide blend or a less common type of polyamide not covered in 3908.10, this code might be more appropriate.
-
5902.10.00.00 - Tire cord fabric of high tenacity yarn of nylon or other poly- amides, polyesters or viscose rayon: Of nylon or other polyamides (60.8% total tax rate)
- 59: Textile fabrics.
- 02: Textile fabrics woven from man-made filaments.
- 10: Specifically for tire cord fabric made of nylon or other polyamides.
- Consideration: If the patches are woven into a fabric structure with high tenacity yarn (strong, durable yarn) specifically intended for reinforcing or repairing, this code could apply. However, "tire cord fabric" usually implies a specific construction and strength level.
Important Notes & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The exact material composition of the patches is crucial. Are they 100% nylon, or a blend with other materials?
- Processing Level: How much processing has the nylon undergone? Is it simply cut into shape, or has it been coated, laminated, or otherwise modified?
- Intended Use: While "repair patches" is helpful, knowing what they are repairing (e.g., clothing, tents, industrial equipment) can influence the classification.
- Tariff Ruling: Given the potential ambiguity, it is strongly recommended to obtain a binding tariff ruling from the relevant customs authority. This will provide a definitive classification for your specific product.
- 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the upcoming tariff changes on April 2, 2025. The addtional 5% tariff will apply after this date.
- Certification: Depending on the end use of the patches, you may need to provide certifications regarding material safety or compliance with relevant standards.
Customer Reviews
This site is a lifesaver for finding HS codes. The detailed explanations for each code helped me understand which one applies to my nylon repair patches. Highly recommend it for anyone in the plastics industry.
I needed HS code info for exporting nylon repair patches to the US, and this page provided exactly what I needed. The tariff rates and the note about the April 2025 changes were especially useful.
Great breakdown of HS codes for nylon repair patches. The 3908.10.00.00 code was exactly what I was looking for. The explanation about polyamide resins was very helpful.
The information on the 5902.10.00.00 code was interesting, but I was hoping for more details on how to determine if the patches qualify as tire cord fabric. Still, the page was very informative.
