HS Code Classification for Silicone Kneading Pad
Based on the provided reference data and the product description "SILICONE KNEADING PAD", here's a breakdown of potential HS code classifications, along with explanations and considerations:
1. 3910.00.00 - Silicones in primary forms
- Explanation: This HS code covers raw silicones, which are the base material for many silicone products. If the kneading pad is being imported as a basic, unworked silicone sheet or form, this is the most appropriate classification.
- Breakdown:
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof
- 10: Silicones in primary forms
- 00: All
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 3.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total: 58.0%
- Considerations: This code applies to the material itself, not a finished product.
2. 4016.99.05.00 - Other articles of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber: Other: Other: Household articles not elsewhere specified or included
- Explanation: If the kneading pad is a finished product made of vulcanized rubber (silicone rubber is a type of vulcanized rubber) and is intended for household use, this HS code is a strong possibility. "Household articles not elsewhere specified" is a broad category, and a kneading pad would likely fall under this.
- Breakdown:
- 40: Rubber and articles thereof
- 16: Other articles of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber
- 99: Other
- 05: Household articles not elsewhere specified or included
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 3.4%, Additional Tariff: 7.5%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total: 40.9%
- Considerations: The key here is whether it's considered a "household article" and if it's made of vulcanized rubber.
3. 4016.99.05.00 - Other articles of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber: Other: Other: Kitchen articles not elsewhere specified or included
- Explanation: Similar to the above, but specifically focusing on kitchen use. If the pad is clearly marketed and intended for kitchen use (e.g., for baking, dough preparation), this could be more accurate.
- Breakdown:
- 40: Rubber and articles thereof
- 16: Other articles of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber
- 99: Other
- 05: Household articles not elsewhere specified or included
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 3.4%, Additional Tariff: 7.5%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total: 40.9%
- Considerations: The key here is whether it's considered a "kitchen article" and if it's made of vulcanized rubber.
Important Notes & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: Confirm the exact material composition of the kneading pad. Is it 100% silicone, or does it contain other materials?
- Finished vs. Unworked: Determine if the pad is a raw material (HS 3910.00.00) or a finished product (HS 4016.99.05.00).
- Intended Use: Clarify the intended use of the pad. Is it specifically for kitchen use, or is it more general household?
- Vulcanization: Confirm if the silicone rubber has undergone a vulcanization process.
- Certification: Depending on the intended use (e.g., food contact), you may need to provide certifications such as FDA or LFGB compliance.
- Post 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the additional tariff increases scheduled for April 2, 2025.
- Consult with a Customs Broker: For definitive classification, it is highly recommended to consult with a licensed customs broker who can review the product specifications and provide expert guidance.
