Okay, let's break down the HS codes for your "GLUE" declaration. Here's a structured analysis to help you understand the classifications, tax rates, and important considerations. I'll focus on providing clarity and actionable advice.

Understanding HS Code Structure (Important!)

Before diving into specifics, remember that HS codes are hierarchical. The first two digits define the chapter, the next two the subheading, and so on. Here's a general idea:

Chapter 35: Prepared adhesives and glues.
Chapter 38: Chemical products.
Chapter 39: Plastics.

Detailed HS Code Analysis

Here's a breakdown of each code you provided:

3506.10.10.00 – Animal glue (including casein glue, but not fish glue)
- 35: Prepared adhesives and glues.
- 06: Prepared glues and adhesives.
- 10: Animal glues.
- 10.00: Specifically, animal glue (including casein glue, excluding fish glue).
- Tax: Base Tariff: 6.5%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30.0%, Total: 61.5%
- Notes: This is for specifically animal-based glues. Ensure your product composition matches this description.
3506.10.50.00 – Other prepared glues (retail pack <1kg)
- 35: Prepared adhesives and glues.
- 06: Prepared glues and adhesives.
- 10: Prepared glues and adhesives.
- 50.00: Other prepared glues, put up for retail sale, net weight ≤ 1 kg.
- Tax: Base Tariff: 2.1%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30.0%, Total: 57.1%
- Notes: This is a "catch-all" for prepared glues not specifically listed elsewhere, and sold in retail packs under 1kg.
3501.90.20.00 – Casein glues (other)
- 35: Prepared adhesives and glues.
- 01: Casein, caseinates, and derivatives.
- 90: Other casein derivatives.
- 20.00: Specifically, other casein glues.
- Tax: Base Tariff: 6.0%, Additional Tariff: 7.5%, Post 2025.4.2: 30.0%, Total: 43.5%
- Notes: This is for casein glues that don't fall into more specific categories.
3505.20.00.00 – Glues based on starches/dextrins
- 35: Prepared adhesives and glues.
- 05: Dextrins, modified starches, and glues based on them.
- 20: Glues based on starches/dextrins.
- 00.00: Specifically, these glues.
- Tax: Base Tariff: 2.1¢/kg + 2.9%, Additional Tariff: 7.5%, Post 2025.4.2: 30.0%, Total: 2.1¢/kg + 2.9%+37.5%
- Notes: This code has a specific tariff rate based on weight (2.1¢/kg) plus a percentage. Accurate weight is crucial.
3824.99.29.00 – Mixtures containing 5% or more aromatic substances
- 38: Chemical products.
- 24: Prepared binders, molding compounds.
- 99: Other chemical products.
- 29.00: Specifically, mixtures containing 5% or more aromatic substances.
- Tax: Base Tariff: 6.5%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30.0%, Total: 61.5%
- Notes: This is for complex chemical mixtures used as binders, with a significant aromatic content.
3824.99.93.10 – Mixtures of acyclic, monohydric, unsubstituted alcohols (C₁₁ or lower)
- 38: Chemical products.
- 24: Prepared binders, molding compounds.
- 99: Other chemical products.
- 93.10: Specifically, mixtures of acyclic, monohydric, unsubstituted alcohols (C₁₁ or lower).
- Tax: Base Tariff: 5.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2: 30.0%, Total: 60.0%
- Notes: This is a very specific chemical classification. You'll need a chemical analysis to confirm this code.
3926.90.99.89 – Other articles of plastics
- 39: Plastics.
- 26: Other articles of plastics.
- 90: Other articles of plastics.
- 99.89: Specifically, other articles of plastics.
- Tax: Base Tariff: 5.3%, Additional Tariff: 7.5%, Post 2025.4.2: 30.0%, Total: 42.8%
- Notes: This is a broad category for plastic articles not elsewhere specified.

Recommendations & Key Considerations:

Material Composition is Critical: The exact chemical composition of your glue is the most important factor in determining the correct HS code. Get a detailed chemical analysis report.
Retail Packaging: If your glue is in retail packaging ≤ 1kg, codes like 3506.10.50.00 may be applicable.
Aromatic Content: If your glue contains aromatic substances, carefully assess the percentage to see if 3824.99.29.00 is correct.
Alcohol Content: If your glue contains alcohols, carefully assess the type and carbon chain length to see if 3824.99.93.10 is correct.
Post-April 2025 Tariffs: Be aware of the tariff increases coming in April 2025.
Certifications: Depending on the application of the glue (e.g., food contact, children's products), you may need specific certifications (e.g., FDA, EN71).
Consult a Customs Broker: I strongly recommend consulting with a licensed customs broker in China. They can review your documentation and provide a definitive HS code classification.
