Okay, let's break down the HS codes provided for your "MAGNETIC MOUNT" declaration. I'll explain each code, its meaning, and potential implications.
Understanding HS Codes – A Quick Primer
HS codes (Harmonized System codes) are internationally standardized codes used to classify traded products. They determine the import duties and taxes applicable to your goods. The first 6 digits are generally standardized globally, while additional digits can vary by country.
Here's a breakdown of each code you provided:
1. 8505.11.00.90 – Permanent Magnets & Articles to Become Permanent Magnets (Metal Other)
- 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recording or reproducing apparatus, television-image multiplier tubes.
- 05: Electromagnets; permanent magnets and articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetization; electromagnetic or permanent magnet chucks, clamps and similar holding devices; electromagnetic couplings, clutches and brakes; electromagnetic lifting heads; parts thereof.
- 11: Permanent magnets and articles intended to become permanent magnets after magnetization.
- 00: Other (This specifies a more detailed category within permanent magnets).
- 90: Further specification (often country-specific).
- Tax: Base Rate 2.1%, Additional Tariff 0.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff 30%, Total 32.1%.
- Implication: This code is for permanent magnets made of metal. It's a relatively low-tariff classification.
2. 8505.19.10.00 – Permanent Magnets & Articles to Become Permanent Magnets (Flexible Magnets)

- 10: Flexible magnets.
- 00: Further specification.
- Tax: Base Rate 4.9%, Additional Tariff 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff 30%, Total 59.9%.
- Implication: This code is specifically for flexible magnets. The tariff is significantly higher than 8505.11.00.90.
3. 8205.59.80.00 – Other Handtools (Including Glass Cutters) and Parts Thereof
- 82: Tools, implements, cutlery, hand tools, articles of cutlery.

- 59: Other handtools (including glass cutters) and parts thereof.
- 80: Other.
- 00: Further specification.
- Tax: Base Rate 3.7%, Additional Tariff 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff 30%, Total 58.7%.

- Implication: This code is for ion-exchange resins made from polymers.
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The difference between 8505.11 and 8505.19 is crucial. Precisely define the material of your magnets. Flexible magnets have a significantly higher tariff.
- Functionality: If your "magnetic mount" is a complete assembly, consider if it qualifies as a hand tool (8205.59 or 8205.70).
- Plastic Components: If plastic is a significant part of the mount, 3926.90 might be relevant.
- Raw Materials: If you're importing the raw materials to make the mount, the 3901 and 3914 codes apply.
- 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the significant tariff increases coming in April 2025.
- EORI Number: Ensure you have a valid EORI number for import.
- Commercial Invoice: Your commercial invoice must clearly describe the goods and their material composition.
- Country of Origin: The country of origin affects tariff rates and potential trade agreements.
To help me narrow down the most accurate HS code, please provide:
- Detailed description of the mount's construction: What materials are used (metal type, plastic type, etc.)?
- What is the primary function of the mount? (Holding, clamping, etc.)
- Is it a complete assembly or individual components?
