Find product classification and trade information for LED MASK

Okay, here's a breakdown of the HS codes provided for your "LED MASK" declaration, along with explanations, potential issues, and recommendations. I'll focus on clarity and practical advice for customs clearance.

Understanding HS Codes: A Quick Primer

The Harmonized System (HS) code is a standardized international system of names and numbers to classify traded products. It's crucial for determining tariffs, trade statistics, and regulatory controls. Here's how the codes generally break down:

• First 2 Digits (Chapter): Broadly defines the product category.
• First 4 Digits (Heading): More specific classification within the chapter.
• First 6 Digits (Subheading): Even more detailed classification.
• Further Digits: Specific to individual countries for tariff and statistical purposes.

Analysis of Your Provided HS Codes

Let's examine each code you've received:

1. 8539.51.00.00 – Light-emitting diode (LED) modules

• Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment. This is a good starting point for LED products.
• Heading 8539: Electrical filaments or discharge lamps, including sealed beam lamp units and ultraviolet or infrared lamps; arc lamps; light-emitting diode (LED) light sources; parts thereof. This is the core category for LED lighting.
• Subheading 8539.51: Light-emitting diode (LED) light sources. This specifically targets LED modules.

• Tax Details:

  • Basic Tariff: 0.0%
  • Additional Tariff: 25.0%
  • Post-April 11, 2025: Additional Tariff: 145%
  • Total Tax: 170.0%

  Comments: This code seems appropriate if your LED mask primarily functions as a light source (e.g., for therapy, skin treatment). However, the high tax rate (especially post-2025) is significant.

2. 3926.90.99 – Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: --> Other

• Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
• Heading 3926: Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914. This is a very broad "catch-all" category for plastic items.
• Subheading 3926.90.99: Other. This is extremely generic.

• Tax Details: "Failed to retrieve tax information" / "Error".

  Comments: This code is problematic. The "Error" in tax information suggests it's not a suitable classification, or the system can't properly assess it. If your LED mask is primarily made of plastic and doesn't function primarily as a light source, this might be considered, but it's unlikely. You need to investigate this further. A broad "Other" classification often leads to customs delays and potential reclassification.

3. 9022.90.95.00 – Apparatus based on the use of X-rays or of alpha, beta, gamma or other ionizing radiations

• Chapter 90: Instruments and apparatus used in medicine, surgery, dentistry or veterinary.
• Heading 9022: Apparatus based on the use of X-rays or of alpha, beta, gamma or other ionizing radiations.

• Subheading 9022.90.95.00: Other, including parts and accessories.

• Tax Details:

  • Basic Tariff: 1.4%
  • Additional Tariff: 25.0%
  • Post-April 11, 2025: Additional Tariff: 145%
  • Total Tax: 171.4%

  Comments: This code is highly unlikely to be correct for a standard LED mask. It's for medical equipment using ionizing radiation (like X-ray machines). Unless your mask specifically uses such radiation for a medical purpose, this is incorrect.

Recommendations & Crucial Checks

1. Product Function is Key: The primary function of your LED mask determines the correct HS code. Is it:

   • Primarily a light therapy device? (8539.51.00.00 might be best, but verify the tax implications)
   • A cosmetic device made of plastic? (You need a more specific code within Chapter 39 – see below)
   • A medical device using radiation? (9022.90.95.00 – only if true)

2. Chapter 39 – If Primarily Plastic: If the mask is mostly plastic, you need a much more specific code within Chapter 39. Consider:

   • 3924: Tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and hygienic or toilet articles, of plastics. (If it's a facial mask for cosmetic use)
   • 3926.90.90: Articles of plastic, not elsewhere specified. (If it doesn't fit into a more specific category)

3. Material Composition: What is the mask made of? The material composition will influence the HS code.

4. Certification: Does your LED mask require any specific certifications (e.g., CE marking, FDA approval)? This can affect the classification and required documentation.

5. Single Price: What is the single price of the product?

6. Consult a Customs Broker: I strongly recommend consulting with a licensed customs broker in China and the destination country. They can provide expert guidance on HS code classification and ensure compliance with all import regulations.

Important Disclaimer: I am an AI and cannot provide definitive HS code classifications. This information is for general guidance only. The final determination of the correct HS code rests with the customs authorities in the importing country.
