Find product classification and trade information for DOORSTOP

Okay, let's break down the HS codes provided for your "DOORSTOP" declarations. I'll provide a detailed analysis, focusing on the classification, tax implications, and important considerations.

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 (e.g., 39 - Plastics, 73 - Iron or Steel).
• Heading (Next 2 digits): More specific classification within the chapter.
• Subheading (Next 2 digits): Even more detailed classification.
• Additional Digits: Country-specific for further refinement.
