Here's a classification breakdown for "PROTECTIVE GLASSES" based on the provided reference data:

• 9004.90.00.10: Spectacles, goggles and the like, corrective, protective or other: Other Safety glasses or safety goggles.

  • 9004: This heading covers spectacles, goggles, and similar items for correcting, protecting, or other purposes.
  • 90.00: Further specifies glasses and goggles.

  • Tax Details: Base Tariff: 2.5%, Additional Tariff: 7.5%, Post-April 2, 2025 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total Tariff: 40.0%. This is the most likely HS code if the glasses are specifically designed for safety (e.g., impact resistance, chemical splash protection).

  • 9004: As above, covers spectacles, goggles, and similar items.

  • Tax Details: Base Tariff: 2.5%, Additional Tariff: 7.5%, Post-April 2, 2025 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total Tariff: 40.0%. Use this code if the glasses have a general protective function but don’t meet the standards for dedicated "Safety glasses or safety goggles".

Important Considerations:

• Safety Standards: The distinction between 9004.90.00.10 and 9004.90.00.90 often depends on whether the glasses meet specific safety certifications (e.g., ANSI Z87.1 in the US, EN 166 in Europe).
• Material Composition: The material of the glasses (e.g., polycarbonate, plastic, glass) doesn't change the HS code in these classifications, but it's crucial information for your import documentation.
• Corrective Function: If the glasses have a corrective lens, they might fall under a different HS code within the 9004 heading.

Recommendation:

To ensure accurate classification, please provide details on the following:

• Purpose of the glasses: (e.g., industrial safety, sports protection, general use)
• Safety certifications: (if any)
• Material of the frame and lens.
• Whether they have a corrective function.
