Customs Compliance Analysis for Bird Feathers and Down Products (HS Code 6701)

✅ Product Classification Overview

You have provided two HS codes under Chapter 67 (Wool, animal hair, feathers, and articles thereof), specifically:

1. HS Code: 6701003000

2. Description: Articles of feathers or down (e.g., stuffed toys, decorative items, etc.)

3. HS Code: 6701006000

4. Description: Other products made from feathers or down (e.g., parts of feathers, down, or other non-article products)

Both are subject to the same tariff structure, as outlined below.

📌 Tariff Structure and Policy Notes

• Base Tariff Rate: 4.7%
• Additional Tariff (General): 25.0%
• Special Tariff (After April 11, 2025): 30.0%
• Total Effective Tariff Rate: 59.7%

⚠️ Important Note: The special tariff of 30.0% applies after April 11, 2025. This is a time-sensitive policy and may significantly increase the import cost.

📌 Additional Policy Considerations

• Anti-dumping duties: Not applicable for this category (feathers and down are not subject to anti-dumping duties under current regulations).
• Import Certifications: May require documentation such as:
• CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) if the bird species is protected.
• Origin Certificates (e.g., Form A, Form E) depending on the country of origin and preferential trade agreements.
• Customs Invoice with accurate product description and unit price.

📌 Proactive Compliance Advice

• Verify Material Composition: Ensure the product is made of feathers or down and not mixed with other materials (e.g., synthetic fibers), which may change the HS classification.
• Check Unit Price: The tariff is calculated based on the FOB value, so accurate pricing is essential for customs valuation.
• Confirm Product Type: If the product is a stuffed toy or decorative item, it falls under 6701003000. If it's a part of a feather or down filling, it may fall under 6701006000.
• Stay Updated on Tariff Changes: Monitor any new regulations or trade agreements that may affect the April 11, 2025 special tariff.
