Understanding HS Codes: A Quick Primer

HS codes (Harmonized System codes) are internationally standardized codes used to classify traded products. The first 6 digits are generally consistent worldwide, while countries can add further digits for more specific categorization. Here's how to interpret them:

• Chapter (First 2 digits): Broad category of goods.
• Heading (First 4 digits): More specific grouping within the chapter.
• Subheading (First 6 digits): Even more detailed classification.
• Further digits: Country-specific details.

Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Material Composition: The material of the baby carriages (fabric, metal, plastic) can sometimes influence the HS code.
• Age Determination: Accurately labeling the intended age range for toys is crucial, as it directly impacts the applicable HS code and tariff.
• "Children's Products" Definition: The codes referencing "Children's Products" as defined in 15 U.S.C. § 2052 may have specific requirements for testing and certification. Please verify if your products meet these standards.
• April 2, 2025 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the upcoming tariff changes. Factor the 30% additional tariff into your cost calculations.
• Country of Origin: Double-check the rules of origin to ensure you qualify for the stated tariffs.
• Consult a Customs Broker: For complex classifications or large shipments, it's highly recommended to consult with a licensed customs broker in China and the destination country. They can provide definitive guidance and ensure compliance.
