Okay, let's break down the HS codes and tax implications for your KITCHENWARE SET import from China. I'll provide a structured analysis to help you understand the classification and potential costs.
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.
- Heading (First 4 digits): More specific grouping within the chapter.
- Subheading (First 6 digits): Even more detailed classification.
- Additional Digits: Country-specific for tariff and statistical purposes.

Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Verification: Crucially, double-check the exact material composition of each item. The HS code is highly dependent on the material.
- April 2, 2025 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the upcoming additional tariffs on steel/aluminum products. Factor this into your cost calculations.
- Value Thresholds: For some ceramic items (6912.00.35.10 & 6912.00.39.10), the value of the set impacts the HS code.
- Certifications: Depending on the intended use (food contact), you may need certifications like FDA compliance.
- Country of Origin: Ensure accurate documentation of the country of origin to avoid potential issues.
- Consult a Customs Broker: I highly recommend working with a licensed customs broker. They can provide expert guidance and ensure compliance with all regulations.
