Okay, let's break down these HS codes for your "STORAGE BASKET" declarations. I'll provide a structured analysis, focusing on the meaning of each code and potential implications.
Understanding HS Codes: A Quick Primer
HS codes (Harmonized System codes) are internationally standardized product codes used for customs classification. The first 6 digits are generally consistent worldwide, while additional digits can vary by country. Here's how to interpret them:
- Chapter (First 2 digits): Broad category of goods.
- Heading (Next 2 digits): More specific grouping within the chapter.
- Subheading (Next 2 digits): Even more detailed classification.
- Further subdivisions: Country-specific details.

Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The most crucial factor is the primary material of the basket. If it's a mix, determine the dominant material.
- Post-2025.4.2 Tariffs: Be aware of the tariff increases coming into effect.
- Certificates: Depending on the material (e.g., wood, bamboo), you might need certificates of origin or phytosanitary certificates.
- Single Declaration: If you're importing a variety of baskets, consider if a single declaration with multiple HS codes is appropriate, or if separate declarations are needed.
- Accuracy: Double-check the HS code descriptions against the actual product. Incorrect classification can lead to delays and penalties.
- Consult a Broker: For complex cases, it's always best to consult with a customs broker in your importing country.
To help me refine this further, could you tell me:
- What is the primary material of the baskets you are importing?
- Are there any specific features or uses of the baskets that might influence the classification?
- What country are you importing to? (Tariff rules can vary.)
