Okay, here's a breakdown of the HS codes you provided for "Balls", acting as your customs consultant. I'll explain each code, its meaning, and potential considerations. I'll also highlight key points for you to check.
Understanding HS Codes: A Quick Primer
The Harmonized System (HS) code is a standardized international system of names and numbers to classify traded products. The first two digits generally indicate the chapter, the next two the subheading, and further digits provide more specific classifications.
Here's a detailed analysis of each HS code you provided:
1. 8482.91.00.10 – Balls of Alloy Steel (Bearings/Roller Parts)
- 84: Chapter 84 covers "Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof."
- 82: Specifically, this covers "Bearings, rolling-contact, and parts thereof."
- 91: This further specifies "Parts: Balls, needles and rollers."
- 00.10: This is the most specific classification: "Balls of alloy steel."
- Tax: Total tax rate is 174.4% (Base tariff 4.4% + Additional tariff 25% + Post-April 11, 2025 additional tariff 145%).
- Key Considerations:
- Material Verification: Crucially, confirm the balls are actually made of alloy steel. The composition will determine the correct classification.
- End Use: Are these balls specifically for bearings? If they are for another application, a different HS code might be more appropriate.
- Certification: Depending on the application, you might need certifications related to material quality or safety standards.
2. 7002.10.10.00 – Glass Balls (Not Over 6mm Diameter)
- 70: Chapter 70 covers "Glass and glass articles."
- 02: This covers "Glass in the form of primary shapes; glass spheres or rods."
- 10: This specifies "Balls."
- 10.00: Specifically, "Not over 6 mm in diameter."
- Tax: Total tax rate is 173.9% (Base tariff 3.9% + Additional tariff 25% + Post-April 11, 2025 additional tariff 145%).
- Key Considerations:
- Diameter Measurement: Accurately measure the diameter of the glass balls. If they exceed 6mm, HS code 7002.10.20.00 would be more appropriate.
- Glass Type: The type of glass (e.g., borosilicate, soda-lime) might be relevant for certain applications and potential regulations.
3. 7002.10.20.00 – Glass Balls (Other – Over 6mm Diameter)
- 70: Chapter 70 covers "Glass and glass articles."
- 02: This covers "Glass in the form of primary shapes; glass spheres or rods."
- 10: This specifies "Balls."
- 20.00: Specifically, "Other" (meaning over 6mm in diameter, or not specifically covered by 7002.10.10.00).
- Tax: Total tax rate is 170.0% (Base tariff 0.0% + Additional tariff 25% + Post-April 11, 2025 additional tariff 145%).
- Key Considerations:
- Diameter Measurement: As with 7002.10.10.00, accurate diameter measurement is critical.
- Glass Type: Consider the glass composition for potential regulations.
4. 7326.11.00.00 – Forged/Stamped Grinding Balls (Steel)
- 73: Chapter 73 covers "Articles of iron or steel."
- 26: This covers "Iron and steel waste and scrap, semi-finished products."
- 11: This specifies "Forged or stamped, but not further worked."
- 00.00: Specifically, "Grinding balls and similar articles for mills."
- Tax: Total tax rate is 195.0% (Base tariff 0.0% + Additional tariff 25% + Post-April 11, 2025 additional tariff 145% + additional tariff for steel/aluminum products 25%).
- Key Considerations:
- Manufacturing Process: Confirm these balls are forged or stamped and not further worked. If they have undergone additional processing, a different HS code might apply.
- Material Verification: Ensure the material is indeed iron or steel.
- End Use: Verify they are specifically for use in mills as grinding media.
5. 4823.90.10.00 – Paper Pulp Balls (Other)
- 48: Chapter 48 covers "Paper and paperboard; articles thereof."
- 23: This covers "Paper pulp, paper, paperboard, cellulose wadding and webs of cellulose fibers."
- 90: This specifies "Other."
- 10.00: Specifically, "Of paper pulp."
- Tax: Total tax rate is 170.0% (Base tariff 0.0% + Additional tariff 25% + Post-April 11, 2025 additional tariff 145%).
- Key Considerations:
- Material Composition: Confirm the balls are made entirely of paper pulp.
- Density/Weight: The density and weight of the balls might be relevant for shipping and classification.
Important Reminders:
- Rule of General Interpretation (RGI): Always refer to the Harmonized System's RGI for guidance on classification.
- Binding Ruling: If you are unsure about the correct classification, consider applying for a binding ruling from your local customs authority.
- Documentation: Maintain accurate and complete documentation to support your classification.
To help me refine this further, could you tell me:
- What is the primary material of the balls you are importing?
- What is the intended use of these balls?
- Can you provide more details about the manufacturing process?
