- Tax Details: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 7.5%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total Tariff: 37.5%.
- Note: This is a broad category. If the pen holder is made of a specific material (e.g., metal, plastic, wood), a more precise code might exist.
-
9608.99.30.00: Pen-holders, pencil-holders and similar holders; parts (including caps and clips) of the foregoing articles, other than those of heading 9609: Other: Other: Refill cartridges.

- Note: This code is specifically for refill cartridges, so it's unlikely to be applicable unless the pen holder is a refill cartridge holder.
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The material of the pen holder and pen box is crucial. If it's primarily metal, plastic, wood, or another specific material, there might be a more accurate HS code within Chapter 96 or other relevant chapters (e.g., Chapter 39 for plastics, Chapter 44 for wood).
- Box Functionality: If the "pen box" is more complex than a simple holder (e.g., a case with a locking mechanism, multiple compartments, or special features), it might fall under a different classification.
- Combined Goods: If the pen holder and pen box are sold as a single unit, the classification should be determined based on the primary function of the combined item.
- Certification: Depending on the material and intended use, you may need to provide specific certifications (e.g., for wood products, plastic products, or products containing hazardous materials).
- Post 2025.4.2 Tariffs: Be aware of the tariff changes scheduled for April 2, 2025. The additional tariffs will increase significantly on many goods.
