Okay, let's break down the HS codes and tax implications for your declared items, focusing on "STAGE LIGHT". Here's a structured analysis to help you understand the classification and potential costs:
Overall Summary: You have three items declared, covering LED lights, iron/steel articles, and lasers. The tax rates vary significantly, with the iron/steel articles having the highest potential cost due to the additional tariffs.
1. Item 1: Light-emitting diode (LED) lamps Other
- HS Code: 8539.52.00.91
- Description: Electrical filament or discharge lamps, including sealed beam lamp units and ultraviolet or infrared lamps; arc lamps; light-emitting diode (LED) light sources; parts thereof: Light-emitting diode (LED) light sources: Light-emitting diode (LED) lamps Other
-
Tax Details:
- Basic Duty: 2.0%
- Additional Tariff: 0.0% (currently)
- Additional Tariff (Post April 2nd, 2025): 30%
-
Total Tax: 32.0%
-
HS Code Breakdown:
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recording or reproducing apparatus, television-image transmission or reproduction apparatus, and parts and accessories of such articles. (This broadly covers electrical components)
- 39: Lamps and lighting fittings; electric torches; luminous signs and nameplates; electric control apparatus for lamps and lighting fittings. (Specifically focuses on lighting)
- 52: LED lamps.
- 00.91: Further specifies the type of LED lamp.
-
Important Notes:
- This HS code is appropriate for the LED components specifically used in stage lighting.
- Action Required: Please double-check the specifications of the LED lamps. Are they specifically designed for stage lighting applications? The intended use can sometimes affect classification.
2. Item 2: Other articles of iron or steel: Other: Other: Other: Other Other
- HS Code: 7326.90.86.88
- Description: Other articles of iron or steel: Other: Other: Other: Other Other
-
Tax Details:
- Basic Duty: 2.9%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0% (currently)
- Additional Tariff (Post April 2nd, 2025): 30% (for steel/aluminum products)
-
Total Tax: 82.9%
-
HS Code Breakdown:
- 73: Articles of iron or steel. (Broadly covers iron and steel products)
- 26: Other articles of iron or steel.
- 90: Further specifies "other" articles.
- 86.88: Even more specific classification for other iron/steel articles.
-
Important Notes:
- This HS code is for iron or steel components used in the stage light structure or mounting.
- Action Required: Crucially, confirm the material composition. Is it definitely iron or steel? The 25% (and potentially 30% post-April 2nd, 2025) additional tariff is significant. If it's aluminum, the tariff applies. Also, provide the exact single price and quantity of this item.
- Action Required: You may need to provide detailed specifications and potentially a material certificate to confirm the classification.
3. Item 3: Lasers, other than laser diodes; other optical appliances and instruments, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter: Lasers, other than laser diodes
- HS Code: 9013.20.00.00
- Description: Lasers, other than laser diodes; other optical appliances and instruments, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter: Lasers, other than laser diodes
-
Tax Details:
- Basic Duty: 0.0%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0% (currently)
- Additional Tariff (Post April 2nd, 2025): 30%
-
Total Tax: 55.0%
-
HS Code Breakdown:
- 90: Optical, photographic, cinematographic, measuring, checking, precision, medical or surgical instruments and apparatus; parts and accessories thereof. (Broadly covers optical instruments)
- 13: Instruments and apparatus for measuring or checking length, width, height, depth or distance; measuring instruments and apparatus for angles and lengths.
- 20: Lasers (excluding laser diodes).
- 00.00: Further specifies the type of laser.
-
Important Notes:
- This HS code is appropriate for the laser components used in stage lighting effects.
- Action Required: Confirm the laser's power output and intended use. High-power lasers may require additional permits or certifications.
General Recommendations:
- Material Verification: For Item 2 (iron/steel articles), absolutely verify the material composition. This is the biggest potential cost driver.
- Single Price and Quantity: Provide the exact single price and quantity of each item.
- Certifications: Depending on the type of lasers used (Item 3), you may need to provide safety certifications.
- Intended Use: Clearly state the intended use of each component (specifically for stage lighting) to avoid potential misclassification.
- April 2nd, 2025 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the upcoming tariff changes on April 2nd, 2025. The additional tariffs will increase for certain products.
