Based on the provided reference data and the declared good "PAINT ROLLER BRUSH", here's a classification breakdown. Determining the precise HS code requires more detail about the brush's construction and intended use, but here are potential classifications with explanations:
-
8424899000 - Mechanical appliances (whether or not hand operated) for projecting, dispersing or spraying liquids or powders; fire extinguishers, whether or not charged; spray guns and similar appliances; steam or sand blasting machines and similar jet projecting machines; parts thereof: Other appliances: Other
- 84: Chapter 84 covers nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances.
- 24: Specifically relates to machinery for projecting, dispersing, or spraying liquids or powders.
- 89: Covers parts and accessories of the above machinery.
- 90: Other.
- Applicability: This is a broad category and could apply if the brush is considered a mechanical appliance for applying paint (e.g., a powered roller). However, a simple hand-operated brush is less likely to fit here.
- Total Tax Rate: 56.8% (Base Tariff: 1.8%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30%)
-
3926905000 - Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Other: Frames or mounts for photographic slides
- 39: Chapter 39 covers plastics and articles thereof.
- 26: Relates to other articles of plastics.
- 90: Other.
- 50: Frames or mounts for photographic slides.
- Applicability: If the brush handle or components are made of plastic, this code might be relevant. However, the description is for photographic slides, so it's unlikely unless the brush has a very specific design.
- Total Tax Rate: 41.3% (Base Tariff: 3.8%, Additional Tariff: 7.5%, Post 2025.4.2: 30%)
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The primary material of the brush (plastic, wood, metal, natural fibers, synthetic fibers) is crucial for accurate classification.
- Handle Type: Is the handle plastic, wood, or metal?
- Brush Type: Is it a standard hand brush, a roller brush, or a powered brush?
- Intended Use: While "paint roller brush" is given, confirm if it's for industrial, commercial, or household use.
- Certification: Depending on the intended use and material, specific certifications (e.g., safety standards) might be required.
Next Steps:
- Provide more details about the brush's construction.
- Confirm the material composition of all components.
- Check if any specific certifications are required for import.
Disclaimer: This is a preliminary classification based on limited information. The final classification is determined by customs authorities based on a thorough examination of the goods and supporting documentation.
