Find HS Code and trade information for PLASTIC GAME COINS

Okay, let's break down these HS codes and their implications for your "PLASTIC GAME COINS" declaration. I'll provide a structured analysis to help you understand the classification, tax rates, and potential considerations.

Important Note: Determining the correct HS code is crucial. Misclassification can lead to delays, penalties, and unexpected costs. This analysis is based on the descriptions provided; the final determination rests with customs officials.

1. 9503.00.00.71 – Tricycles, scooters, pedal cars and similar wheeled toys…

• Chapter 95: Toys, games and sports equipment; gymnastic or athletic articles. This chapter covers a wide range of recreational items.
• 9503: Tricycles, scooters, pedal cars and similar wheeled toys; dolls’ carriages; dolls, other toys; reduced-scale (“scaleˮ) models and similar recreational models, working or not; puzzles of all kinds; parts and accessories thereof. This narrows it down to toys specifically.
• 9503.00.00: This is a more specific sub-heading.

• 9503.00.00.71: "Other" – specifically for children's products under 3 years of age.

  • Tax Implications:

    • Basic Duty: 0.0%
    • Additional Duty: 0.0%
    • Post-April 2, 2025 Additional Duty: 30.0%
    • Total Tax: 30.0%

  • Considerations: This code is very specific to toys for children under 3. You must ensure your coins are indeed designed and marketed for this age group. Documentation supporting this (age recommendations, safety testing reports) is highly recommended.

2. 3926.90.99.89 – Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials…

• Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof. This chapter covers a vast range of plastic products.
• 3926: Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials. This is a broad category for plastic items not specifically covered elsewhere.
• 3926.90: Other.
• 3926.90.99: Other.

• 3926.90.99.89: "Other" – a catch-all for items not fitting into more specific subheadings.

  • Tax Implications:

    • Basic Duty: 5.3%
    • Additional Duty: 7.5%
    • Post-April 2, 2025 Additional Duty: 30.0%
    • Total Tax: 42.8%

  • Considerations: This is a very general code. It's important to confirm if this is the most accurate classification. If the coins have a specific function (e.g., used in a game, collectible items), another code might be more appropriate. Please provide more details about the coins' material composition and intended use.

3. 3901.90.90.00 – Polymers of ethylene, in primary forms…

• Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
• 3901: Polymers of ethylene, in primary forms. This refers to the raw plastic material itself (e.g., polyethylene pellets).
• 3901.90: Other.
• 3901.90.90: Other.

• 3901.90.90.00: "Other" – a catch-all for ethylene polymers not specifically classified elsewhere.

  • Tax Implications:

    • Basic Duty: 6.5%
    • Additional Duty: 25.0%
    • Post-April 2, 2025 Additional Duty: 30.0%
    • Total Tax: 61.5%

  • Considerations: This code applies to the raw material used to make the coins, not the finished coins themselves. Unless you are importing the plastic pellets to manufacture the coins, this code is likely not applicable.

4. 3914.00.60.00 – Ion-exchangers based on polymers…

• Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
• 3914: Ion-exchangers based on polymers of headings 3901 to 3913, in primary forms. This refers to a specific type of plastic used for water purification or chemical processing.
• 3914.00: Other.
• 3914.00.60: Other.

• 3914.00.60.00: "Other" – a catch-all for ion-exchangers not specifically classified elsewhere.

  • Tax Implications:

    • Basic Duty: 3.9%
    • Additional Duty: 25.0%
    • Post-April 2, 2025 Additional Duty: 30.0%
    • Total Tax: 58.9%

  • Considerations: This code is highly specific to a particular type of plastic with a specialized function. It's extremely unlikely to be applicable to plastic game coins.

Recommendations:

1. Material Composition: What plastic are the coins made of? (e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC).
2. Intended Use: Are they for a specific game? Are they collectible? Are they simply toys?
3. Age Group: Are they specifically designed for children under 3?
4. Single Operation: Are you importing the raw material or the finished product?
5. Certifications: Depending on the final HS code, you may need to provide safety certifications (e.g., for toys) or material composition reports.

I strongly recommend reviewing the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) yourself and consulting with a customs broker to ensure accurate classification. Misclassification can lead to significant issues.

Please provide more details about your coins, and I'll do my best to refine the HS code recommendation.
