Important Considerations:

• Material: The material of the buckle is crucial. If it's made of base metal, codes starting with 83 are likely. If it's leather or composition leather, codes starting with 42 apply.
• Part vs. Complete Item: Is the buckle being imported as a standalone component, or as part of a finished dog collar/leash? This dictates whether you use 83 codes (for components) or 42 codes (for complete items).
• Certification: Depending on the destination country, you may need certifications regarding material safety or compliance standards for pet accessories.
• 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware that tariffs on some of these codes will increase on April 2, 2025.
• Single Declaration: If the buckle is a component of a larger item, ensure that the import declaration accurately reflects the complete item's classification.
• Need to verify: Please confirm the material and intended use to select the most appropriate HS code.
