HS Code Classification for Stainless Steel Magnetic Knife Holder
Based on the provided reference data, here's a classification breakdown for "Stainless Steel Magnetic Knife Holder," along with relevant considerations:
1. 7326110000 – Articles of stainless steel, cutlery (excluding knives with blades longer than 10 cm)
- 73: Iron or steel articles. This chapter broadly covers products made of iron or steel.
- 26: Articles of stainless steel. This narrows down the classification to specifically stainless steel items.
- 11: Cutlery (excluding knives with blades longer than 10 cm). While a knife holder isn't cutlery itself, it's closely related to kitchen utensils and often falls under this category, especially if it's designed to hold kitchen knives.
- 00: Further specification – general cutlery.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%, Steel/Aluminum Additional Tariff: 25%. Total Tax Rate: 80.0%
- Considerations: This is a strong candidate if the holder is primarily marketed and used for kitchen knives.
2. 7326908688 – Other articles of iron or steel: Other: Other: Other: Other
- 73: Iron or steel articles.
- 26: Other articles of iron or steel. This is a broad category for iron or steel items not specifically classified elsewhere.
- 90: Other.
- 86: Other.
- 88: Other.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 2.9%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%, Steel/Aluminum Additional Tariff: 25%. Total Tax Rate: 82.9%
- Considerations: This is a catch-all category. It's suitable if the holder doesn't clearly fit into more specific classifications.
3. 8505110010 – Electromagnets; permanent magnets and articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetization; electromagnetic or permanent magnet chucks, clamps and similar holding devices; electromagnetic couplings, clutches and brakes; electromagnetic lifting heads; parts thereof: Permanent magnets and articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetization: Of metal Alnico
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment.
- 05: Electromagnets.
- 11: Permanent magnets.
- 00: Of metal Alnico.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 2.1%, Additional Tariff: 0.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total Tax Rate: 32.1%
- Considerations: If the holder relies heavily on a strong magnetic field for function (e.g., a very powerful magnetic strip), this code might be applicable.
4. 8505110090 – Electromagnets; permanent magnets and articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetization; electromagnetic or permanent magnet chucks, clamps and similar holding devices; electromagnetic couplings, clutches and brakes; electromagnetic lifting heads; parts thereof: Permanent magnets and articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetization: Of metal Other
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment.
- 05: Electromagnets.
- 11: Permanent magnets.
- 90: Of metal Other.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 2.1%, Additional Tariff: 0.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%. Total Tax Rate: 32.1%
- Considerations: Similar to 8505110010, but for magnets made of materials other than Alnico.
Important Notes & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: Confirm the exact type of stainless steel used. This can influence the applicable tariff.
- Functionality: How reliant is the holder on magnetism versus simply being a physical support?
- Intended Use: Is it specifically marketed for kitchen knives, or for other types of knives/tools?
- Certification: Depending on the final HS code selected, you may need to provide material certifications or test reports.
- Post-2025.4.2 Tariffs: Be aware of the upcoming tariff changes on steel/aluminum products.
- Consultation: It's highly recommended to consult with a customs broker or import specialist to ensure accurate classification and compliance.
