Here's a classification breakdown for "kitchen silicone spatula" based on the provided reference data, aiming for the most accurate HS codes and relevant considerations:
- 3926902500: Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Other: Handles and knobs, not elsewhere specified or included, of plastics (Total Tax Rate: 44.0%)
- 39: Chapter 39 covers plastics and articles thereof.
- 26: Specifically, articles of plastics not elsewhere specified.
- 90: Other articles.
- 25: Handles and knobs.
- Rationale: If the spatula primarily consists of plastic (silicone is a plastic) and functions as a handle, this code is a strong possibility. However, the entire spatula needs to be considered.
- 3926909905: Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Other: Other Elastic bands made wholly of plastics (Total Tax Rate: 42.8%)
- 39: Chapter 39 covers plastics and articles thereof.
- 26: Specifically, articles of plastics not elsewhere specified.
- 90: Other articles.
- 99: Other.
- Rationale: This code is less likely unless the spatula has significant elastic properties and is made entirely of plastic.
- 4016990500: Other articles of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber: Other: Other: Household articles not elsewhere specified or included (Total Tax Rate: 40.9%)
- 40: Chapter 40 covers rubber and articles thereof.
- 16: Specifically, vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber.
- 99: Other articles.
- 05: Household articles.
- Rationale: If the spatula is made of rubber (though silicone is a plastic, some spatulas may contain rubber components), this code could apply.
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: Crucially, determine the exact material composition of the spatula. Is it 100% silicone? Does it have a core of another material (e.g., stainless steel, nylon)? The primary material dictates the correct HS code.
- Functionality: While it's a spatula, consider if it has specialized features.
- Tax Rate Changes: Be aware of the 2025.4.2 tax rate changes (increased tariffs).
- Certification: Depending on the intended use (e.g., food contact), you may need specific certifications (e.g., FDA compliance).
- Single Declaration: If the spatula contains multiple materials, the declaration should reflect the primary material by weight or value.
- Supplier Documentation: Obtain a detailed material specification sheet from your supplier.
- Customs Ruling: If there is any ambiguity, consider obtaining a binding customs ruling from the relevant authorities to ensure accurate classification.
