Okay, let's break down the HS codes and tax implications for your "WATER STRIP" declaration. I'll provide a structured analysis to help you understand the classifications and potential costs.
Understanding HS Codes: A Quick Primer
HS codes (Harmonized System codes) are internationally standardized codes used to classify traded products. 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 the product.
- Heading (Next 2 digits): More specific classification within the chapter.
- Subheading (Next 2 digits): Even more detailed classification.
- Further Subdivisions: Country-specific details.
Analysis of Your HS Codes

Recommendations
- Material Composition: Crucially, determine the exact material composition of your "WATER STRIP." This will dictate the correct HS code.
- Dimensions: If it's a monofilament, measure the diameter to confirm if it's less than 1mm.
- Coating/Plating: If it's metal, is it coated or plated with zinc?
- End Use: Consider the intended use of the strip. This can sometimes help narrow down the classification.
- Certifications: Depending on the material and end use, you may need certifications (e.g., REACH for plastics, RoHS for metals).
- 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the increased tariffs coming into effect on April 2, 2025. Factor this into your cost calculations.
