Okay, let's break down the HS codes and tax implications for your declared goods. I'll provide a structured analysis, explaining each code and highlighting key considerations.
Important Note: The tax rates provided are current as of today, but are subject to change. The 2025.4.2 changes refer to potential tariff adjustments. Always confirm the latest rates with official customs sources before importing.
1. Prefabricated partitions and panels for buildings (HS Code: 4418.99.91.50)
- HS Code Breakdown:
- 44: Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal. (This chapter covers products made from wood.)
- 18: Prefabricated buildings.
- 99: Other. (This indicates a more specific category within prefabricated buildings.)
- 91: Further specification.
- 50: Even more specific classification.
- Tax:
- Basic Tariff: 3.2%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0%
- Total Tariff: 58.2% (This is the combined rate.)
- Considerations: The material composition of the panels is crucial. If they contain significant amounts of materials other than wood (e.g., metal, plastic), the HS code might need adjustment.
2. Floor coverings of plastics, whether or not self-adhesive, in rolls or in the form of tiles; wall or ceiling coverings of plastics (HS Code: 3918.10.50.00)
- HS Code Breakdown:
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
- 18: Plastics floor coverings.
- 10: Polymers of vinyl chloride.
- 50: Further specification.
- Tax:
- Basic Tariff: 4.2%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0%
- Total Tariff: 59.2%
- Considerations: Confirm the exact polymer composition. Different plastic types can have different tariff rates.
3. Angles, shapes and sections of iron or nonalloy steel (HS Code: 7216.50.00.00)
- HS Code Breakdown:
- 72: Iron and steel.
- 16: Angles, shapes and sections of iron or steel.
- 50: Further specification.
- Tax:
- Basic Tariff: 0.0%
- Additional Tariff: 0.0%
- Total Tariff: 30.0% (This indicates a future tariff change)
- Considerations: The degree of processing is important. If the angles, shapes, and sections have undergone significant further working (e.g., cutting to specific sizes, welding), the HS code might change.
4. Sign plates, name plates, address plates and similar plates (HS Code: 8310.00.00.00)
- HS Code Breakdown:
- 83: Miscellaneous articles of base metal.
- 10: Sign plates, name plates, etc.
- Tax:

- Additional Tariff: 25.0%
- Total Tariff: 55.0%
- Considerations: The base metal used is important. Different metals can have different tariff rates.
5. Electrical parts of machinery or apparatus (HS Code: 8548.00.00.00)
- HS Code Breakdown:
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment.
- 48: Electrical parts of machinery.
- Tax:
- Basic Tariff: 0.0%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0%
- Total Tariff: 55.0%
- Considerations: Ensure these parts are specifically for machinery. If they are general electrical components, a different HS code might be more appropriate.
6. Luminaires and lighting fittings including searchlights and spotlights (HS Code: 9405.69.40.00)
- HS Code Breakdown:
- 94: Furniture, bedding, lighting signs, prefabricated buildings.
- 05: Luminaires and lighting fittings.

- 40: Further specification.
- Tax:
- Basic Tariff: 6.0%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0%
- Total Tariff: 61.0%

- Basic Tariff: 0.0%
- Additional Tariff: 7.5%
- Total Tariff: 37.5%
- Considerations: Confirm that these are entirely hand-executed. If any mechanical processes were used, a different HS code might be needed.
Important Reminders:
- Material Composition: Always double-check the material composition of your goods. This is the most common reason for HS code discrepancies.
- Processing Level: The degree of processing can significantly affect the HS code.
- Official Sources: Confirm the latest tariff rates and regulations with your local customs authority.
- Certifications: Depending on the goods, you may need specific certifications (e.g., safety standards, origin certificates).
