Socket Storage Box
A socket storage box is a container designed to organize and store socket sets, typically used in automotive, mechanical, and DIY applications. These boxes aim to improve efficiency, portability, and prevent loss of individual sockets and accessories.
Material:
- Plastic: The most common material, offering lightweight construction, affordability, and resistance to corrosion. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene are frequently used.
- Metal: Often steel, providing increased durability and impact resistance. May be powder-coated for rust prevention.
- Combination: Some boxes utilize a plastic body with metal latches or reinforcements.
Purpose:
- Organization: Keeps socket sets neatly arranged by size, drive type (e.g., 1/4", 3/8", 1/2"), and type (e.g., standard, deep, impact).
- Portability: Provides a convenient and contained method for transporting socket sets to and from work locations.
- Protection: Shields sockets from damage, dirt, and loss.
- Quick Access: Allows users to quickly locate and retrieve the desired socket.
Function:
- Compartmentalization: Boxes feature individual slots or compartments to hold each socket securely.
- Secure Closure: Latches, lids, or other mechanisms prevent accidental opening during transport.
- Labeling: Some boxes include labeling areas or come with pre-printed labels for easy identification of socket contents.
- Stackability: Many designs are stackable to save space.
Usage Scenarios:
- Automotive Repair: Mechanics use them to store and transport socket sets for vehicle maintenance and repair.
- Construction & Maintenance: Tradespeople utilize them on job sites for various fastening tasks.
- DIY Projects: Homeowners and hobbyists employ them for general repairs and improvements around the house.
- Workshop Organization: They help maintain a tidy and efficient workspace.
Common Types:
- Blow Molded Plastic Boxes: Lightweight and affordable, often with a foam insert to hold sockets.
- Hard Shell Cases: More durable plastic or metal cases with foam or molded inserts, offering greater protection.
- Socket Rails: Sockets are held in a rail system that can be stored in a toolbox or hung on a wall.
- Socket Organizers (Inserts): Foam or plastic inserts designed to fit within existing toolboxes.
- Stackable Socket Boxes: Designed to interlock for efficient storage.
- Rolling Socket Boxes: Feature wheels and a handle for easy transport, often with drawers or compartments for additional tools.
- Impact Socket Boxes: Specifically designed for heavier-duty impact sockets, typically with more robust construction.
Based on the provided information, classifying “socket storage box” requires careful consideration of its material and intended use. Here’s a breakdown of potentially relevant HS codes:
- 3923.90.00.80: This code covers articles for the conveyance or packing of goods, of plastics; stoppers, lids, caps and other closures, of plastics: Other Other. If the socket storage box is made of plastic, this is a primary consideration. The total tax rate is 58.0% (3.0% basic tariff + 25.0% additional tariff + 30.0% additional tariff after 2025.4.2).
- 3926.90.10.00: This code covers other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Other: Buckets and pails. While not a direct match, if the storage box resembles a bucket or pail in form, this could be applicable. The total tax rate is 40.9% (3.4% basic tariff + 7.5% additional tariff + 30.0% additional tariff after 2025.4.2).
- 3926.90.99.89: This code covers other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Other: Other. This is a broader category for plastic articles not specifically listed elsewhere. The total tax rate is 42.8% (5.3% basic tariff + 7.5% additional tariff + 30.0% additional tariff after 2025.4.2).
- 4202.99.50.00: This code covers trunks, suitcases, vanity cases, attache cases, briefcases, school satchels, spectacle cases, binocular cases, camera cases, musical instrument cases, gun cases, holsters and similar containers; traveling bags, insulated food or beverage bags, toiletry bags, knapsacks and backpacks, handbags, shopping bags, wallets, purses, map cases, cigarette cases, tobacco pouches, tool bags, sports bags, bottle cases, jewelry boxes, powder cases, cutlery cases and similar containers, of leather or of composition leather, of sheeting of plastics, of textile materials, of vulcanized fiber or of paperboard, or wholly or mainly covered with such materials or with paper: Other: Other: Of materials (other than leather, composition leather, sheeting of plastics, textile materials, vulcanized fiber or paperboard) wholly or mainly covered with paper: Other. If the box is constructed from materials other than those listed, and is covered with paper, this could be relevant. The total tax rate is 62.8% (7.8% basic tariff + 25.0% additional tariff + 30.0% additional tariff after 2025.4.2).
It is important to determine the precise material composition of the socket storage box to select the most accurate HS code. If the box is made of plastic, codes 3923.90.00.80, 3926.90.10.00, or 3926.90.99.89 are the most likely candidates.
