Understanding HS Codes: A Quick Primer

HS codes (Harmonized System codes) are internationally standardized codes used to classify traded products. The first 6 digits are generally consistent worldwide, while additional digits can vary by country. Here's how to interpret them:

• Chapter (First 2 digits): Broad category of goods.
• Heading (First 4 digits): More specific grouping within the chapter.
• Subheading (First 6 digits): Even more detailed classification.
• Additional Digits: Country-specific for tariff and statistical purposes.

Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Material is Key: The material of the tray is the most important factor in determining the correct HS code.
• Food Contact: If the tray is intended for food contact, this can influence the classification (e.g., 7323.99.90.30).
• Specific Use: The specific use of the tray (e.g., votive-candle holder) can also affect the code.
• Valuation: The valuation of the tray (e.g., under $1) can be important for certain codes (e.g., 7013.41.10.00).
• Post April 2, 2025 Tariffs: Be aware of the tariff changes coming into effect on April 2, 2025.
• Consult with a Customs Broker: I highly recommend consulting with a licensed customs broker in your country. They can provide definitive guidance based on your specific product details and import regulations.
• Provide Samples: If possible, provide samples of your trays to the customs broker for accurate classification.
