Based on the provided information, classifying "central axis" requires careful consideration as it’s a component potentially falling under several categories. Here's a breakdown of possible HS codes, assuming it's a structural component made of iron or steel:
-
7326.90.86.88: Other articles of iron or steel. This is a broad category for iron or steel articles not specifically covered elsewhere.
73: Iron or steel products.26: Other articles of iron or steel.90: Other.86: Other.88: Other. This code is suitable if the central axis is a finished product and doesn't clearly fit into more specific structural categories. The total tax rate is 82.9%.
-
7308.90.30.00: Structures and parts of structures of iron or steel; plates, rods, angles, shapes, sections, tubes and the like, prepared for use in structures. Specifically for columns, pillars, posts, beams, girders, and similar structural units not made of alloy steel.
73: Iron or steel products.08: Structures and parts of structures.90: Other.30: Columns, pillars, posts, beams, girders. This is applicable if the central axis is designed as a load-bearing element within a structure. The total tax rate is 80.0%.
-
7308.90.60.00: Structures and parts of structures of iron or steel; plates, rods, angles, shapes, sections, tubes and the like, prepared for use in structures. Specifically for columns, pillars, posts, beams, girders, and similar structural units.
73: Iron or steel products.08: Structures and parts of structures.90: Other.60: Other. This code is similar to 7308.90.30.00 but is used for other types of columns, pillars, posts, beams, and girders. The total tax rate is 80.0%.
Important Considerations:
- Material Composition: The tax rate changes depending on whether the central axis is made of alloy steel. Confirm the exact material composition.
- Structure Use: Is the central axis an integral part of a larger structure? If so, codes under 7308 are more appropriate.
- Finished vs. Semi-Finished: Is the central axis a finished product ready for installation, or is it a component requiring further processing?
- 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the upcoming tariff changes on April 2, 2025, which will increase the additional tariff to 30% for steel and aluminum products.
- Single Invoice: Check the single invoice to confirm the product’s description.
Recommendation:
Provide further details about the central axis's intended use, material composition, and manufacturing stage to determine the most accurate HS code. You may need to consult with a customs broker or provide a detailed product specification sheet.
