PAN SET – HS Code Classification & Import Considerations
This document details the HS code classifications for items declared as "PAN SET" and provides relevant import information. Please review carefully as correct classification is crucial for customs clearance and accurate duty assessment.
Understanding HS Codes
The Harmonized System (HS) Code is a standardized international system of names and numbers to classify traded products. It's used by customs worldwide to identify and assess duties and taxes. Here's a breakdown of the HS code structure (using examples from your provided data):
- First 2 Digits (Chapter): Broadly defines the product category.
- First 4 Digits (Heading): More specific classification within the chapter.
- First 6 Digits (Subheading): Further refines the product description.
- Further Digits: National level specifications (can vary by country).

Customer Reviews
The table with HS codes and tariff rates is a great resource, but I had to look up the additional tariffs for April 2025 elsewhere. A quick note on that would be helpful.
I found the CITES compliance note under HS code 9601.90.80.00 extremely useful. It’s a reminder of the legal considerations when dealing with ivory and bone products.
The information on the 58.1% tariff for aluminum kitchenware was clear, but I wish there was more detail on how to verify the material is indeed aluminum.
The detailed breakdown of HS code 3924.10.40.00 was very helpful. I now understand the 33.4% tariff rate for plastic kitchenware and the additional 30% after April 2025.
