HS Code Classification for SILICONE PENCIL CASE
Based on the provided reference data, here's a breakdown of potential HS code classifications for "SILICONE PENCIL CASE", along with detailed explanations:
1. 3926100000 – Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Office or school supplies
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof. This chapter covers articles made of plastics, including those containing other materials.
- 26: Other articles. This subheading specifically covers articles not covered elsewhere in Chapter 39.
- 10: Office or school supplies. This further narrows down the classification to items used in office or educational settings.
- Rationale: A silicone pencil case is primarily made of plastic (silicone is a type of polymer, falling under the plastics category) and is explicitly used as a school supply. This is the most direct and likely classification.
- Tax Rate: Total 35.3% (Basic Duty: 5.3%, Additional Duty: 0.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30%)
2. 3926909905 – Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Other: Other Elastic bands made wholly of plastics
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
- 26: Other articles.
- 90: Other. This is a residual subheading for articles not specifically classified elsewhere in Chapter 39.
- 99: Other. Further specification within the "Other" category.
- 05: Elastic bands made wholly of plastics. While a pencil case isn't an elastic band, this code could apply if the pencil case has significant elastic components or is designed with a high degree of flexibility.
- Rationale: If the pencil case is made of a very flexible silicone material and has elastic properties, this code might be considered. However, it's less likely than 3926100000.
- Tax Rate: Total 42.8% (Basic Duty: 5.3%, Additional Duty: 7.5%, Post 2025.4.2: 30%)
3. 3910000000 – Silicones in primary forms
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
- 10: Silicones in primary forms. This code covers raw silicone materials, not finished products.
- Rationale: This code is unlikely to be applicable unless you are importing unprocessed silicone material intended for manufacturing pencil cases, not the finished pencil cases themselves.
- Tax Rate: Total 58.0% (Basic Duty: 3.0%, Additional Duty: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30%)
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: Confirm the exact material composition of the pencil case. Is it 100% silicone, or does it contain other materials (e.g., metal zippers, fabric lining)? This will significantly impact the correct HS code.
- Functionality: The primary function of the item is crucial. If it's clearly designed as a school supply, 3926100000 is the most appropriate.
- Post-April 2, 2025 Tariffs: Be aware of the increased tariffs taking effect after April 2, 2025.
- Customs Ruling: For definitive classification, it is highly recommended to obtain a binding customs ruling from the relevant customs authority. This will provide legal certainty and avoid potential issues during import.
- Supplier Documentation: Request detailed specifications and material composition information from your supplier. This documentation will be essential for supporting your HS code classification.
