This document details the classification and import considerations for Vegetable Parchment & Tracing Paper, specifically under HS Code 4806.30.00.00.
1. HS Code Breakdown:
- 48: Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp, paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding or fibres. This chapter broadly covers all products made from paper.
- 4806: Papers and paperboard of every kind, not containing cellulose wadding or fibres. This narrows down the category to papers without added wadding or fibres.
- 4806.30: Vegetable parchment, greaseproof papers, tracing papers and glassine and other glazed transparent or translucent papers, in rolls or sheets. This is the specific classification for your declared item. It includes:
- Vegetable Parchment: A specially processed paper used for cooking and baking.
- Greaseproof Papers: Papers resistant to oil and grease.
- Tracing Papers: Translucent papers used for drawing and drafting (your declared item falls under this).
- Glassine: A smooth, translucent paper.
- 4806.30.00.00: This is the most specific code, indicating all papers within the 4806.30 category.
2. Tax Implications (Based on provided data):
- Basic Tariff: 0.0% - No basic import duty is applied.
- Additional Tariff: 25.0% - A 25% additional tariff is currently in effect.
- Post-April 2025 Additional Tariff: 30.0% - Effective after April 2025, the additional tariff will increase to 30%.
- Total Tax: 55.0% - This represents the combined effect of the basic and additional tariffs. (Note: This calculation assumes no other taxes or fees apply. Actual tax may vary.)
3. Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: Ensure the tracing paper is genuinely made from vegetable-based materials. The presence of synthetic fibres or coatings could lead to a different HS code and tax rate.
- Transparency & Translucency: The paper must be transparent or translucent to fall under this classification.
- Single Invoice: Ensure all items on the invoice are accurately described and correspond to the HS code.
- Valuation: The declared value (single price) of the tracing paper is crucial for tax calculation. Ensure it reflects the actual transaction value.
- Country of Origin: The origin of the tracing paper affects tariff rates and potential trade agreements.
- Import Permits/Certifications: Depending on the intended use of the tracing paper (e.g., food contact), you may need specific import permits or certifications (e.g., food-grade certificates). Please verify the requirements with the relevant import authorities.
- Post-April 2025 Changes: Be aware of the tariff increase scheduled for after April 2025 and factor it into your cost calculations.
