Okay, let's break down the HS codes and tax implications for your "Cleaning Tools" declaration. I'll provide a structured explanation, focusing on understanding the classifications and potential costs.
Understanding HS Codes: A Quick Guide
HS codes (Harmonized System codes) are internationally standardized product codes used for customs classification. The first 6 digits are generally consistent worldwide, while additional digits can vary by country. Here's a general idea of what the digits represent:
- Chapter (First 2 digits): Broad category of goods.
- Heading (Next 2 digits): More specific grouping within the chapter.
- Subheading (Next 2 digits): Even more detailed classification.
- Additional Digits: Country-specific for further refinement.

Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The material of each cleaning tool is crucial. Different materials can fall under different HS codes and tax rates.
- Detailed Description: Provide very specific descriptions of each item to customs. "Cleaning Tool" is too broad.
- 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the significant tariff increases coming into effect after April 2, 2025. Factor this into your cost calculations.
- Certifications: Depending on the type of cleaning preparation (3402.90.50.30), you may need safety data sheets (SDS) or other certifications.
- Country of Origin: Ensure you have proper documentation proving the country of origin for each item.
- Valuation: The declared value of your goods is important for tax calculation.
To help me refine this further, could you please provide:
- A more detailed list of the specific cleaning tools you are importing? (e.g., "Plastic bucket," "Microfiber mop head," "Spray bottle," etc.)
- The material composition of each tool? (e.g., "Polypropylene plastic," "Stainless steel," "Cotton," etc.)
- The intended use of each tool? (e.g., "Household cleaning," "Industrial cleaning," etc.)
