1. Material Verification is Crucial: The exact material composition of your hangers is the most important factor in determining the correct HS code. Small changes in material can lead to drastically different tax rates.
2. Single Material vs. Combination: If your hangers are made of multiple materials, the code will depend on the primary material.
3. April 2, 2025 Duty Changes: Be aware of the upcoming duty increases. Factor this into your cost calculations.
4. Country of Origin: The tax rates provided are based on import into your specified country (CN).
5. Certifications: Depending on the material and intended use, you might need specific certifications (e.g., for wood sourcing, plastic composition).
6. Consult a Customs Broker: For complex cases or large shipments, I strongly recommend consulting a licensed customs broker in your country. They can provide definitive classification and ensure compliance with all regulations.
