WAX PARTICLE HS Code Classification
Based on the provided reference data, classifying "WAX PARTICLE" requires careful consideration of the particle's composition and intended use. Here's a breakdown of potential HS codes, with explanations to guide accurate classification:
-
3404.20.00.00 – Artificial waxes and prepared waxes: Of poly(oxyethylene) (polyethylene glycol)
- 34: Chemicals and allied industries products.
- 04: Artificial waxes and prepared waxes.
- 20: Specifically, waxes based on poly(oxyethylene) (polyethylene glycol).
- Applicable if: The wax particles are primarily composed of polyethylene glycol.
- Total Tax Rate: 55.0% (Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30.0%)
-
3404.90.51.50 – Artificial waxes and prepared waxes: Other: Other Other
- 34: Chemicals and allied industries products.
- 04: Artificial waxes and prepared waxes.
- 90: Other artificial waxes.
- 51: Further specification for "other" waxes.
- 50: Additional specification.
- Applicable if: The wax particles are artificial but do not fall under the polyethylene glycol category and are not specifically defined elsewhere within 3404.
- Total Tax Rate: 55.0% (Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30.0%)
-
2712.90.20.00 – Petroleum jelly; paraffin wax, microcrystalline petroleum wax, slack wax, ozokerite, lignite wax, peat wax, other mineral waxes and similar products obtained by synthesis or by other processes, whether or not colored: Other: Other
- 27: Mineral fuels, mineral oils and products of their distillation.
- 12: Petroleum jelly, paraffin wax, etc.
- 90: Other mineral waxes.
- 20: Further specification for "other" mineral waxes.
- Applicable if: The wax particles are derived from petroleum or mineral sources.
- Total Tax Rate: 55.0% (Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30.0%)
-
3825.90.01.00 – Residual products of the chemical or allied industries, not elsewhere specified or included; municipal waste; sewage sludge; other wastes specified in note 6 to this chapter: Other
- 38: Miscellaneous chemical products.
- 25: Residual products of chemical industries.
- 90: Other residual products.
- 01: Further specification for "other" residual products.
- Applicable if: The wax particles are a byproduct or waste material from a chemical process.
- Total Tax Rate: 55.0% (Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30.0%)
-
3824.99.41.40 – Prepared binders for foundry molds or cores; chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries (including those consisting of mixtures of natural products), not elsewhere specified or included: Other: Other: Other: Fatty substances of animal or vegetable origin and mixtures thereof Mixtures of fatty acid esters
- 38: Miscellaneous chemical products.
- 24: Prepared binders and chemical preparations.
- 99: Other chemical preparations.
- 41: Further specification for "other" preparations.
- 40: Further specification for "other" preparations.
- Applicable if: The wax particles are derived from animal or vegetable fats and used as a binder or in chemical preparations.
- Total Tax Rate: 59.6% (Base Tariff: 4.6%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30.0%)
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Composition is Key: The exact chemical composition of the wax particles is the most important factor in determining the correct HS code.
- Intended Use: How the wax particles will be used (e.g., as a component in cosmetics, as a lubricant, as a binder) can also influence classification.
- Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS): Review the MSDS for detailed composition information.
- Single vs. Mixture: If the particles are a mixture of different waxes, the predominant component will usually determine the HS code.
- Certification: Depending on the intended use, you may need to provide certifications (e.g., for food contact, cosmetic use).
- Post 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the upcoming tariff changes on April 2, 2025.
- Consultation: If you are unsure, it is highly recommended to consult with a customs broker or a classification specialist for a definitive determination.
