Okay, let's break down the HS codes for your "PLASTIC BAG SET" declaration. These codes fall under Chapter 39, which covers plastics and articles thereof. Here's a detailed analysis:
Overall Category: Chapter 39 - Plastics and articles thereof
This chapter covers a wide range of plastic products. Your specific goods are categorized within articles for the conveyance or packing of goods, and stoppers, lids, caps and other closures, of plastics.
Detailed HS Code Breakdown (3923.21.00.xx):
- 3923: Specifically refers to "Articles for the conveyance or packing of goods, of plastics; stoppers, lids, caps and other closures, of plastics." This is your primary category.
- 3923.21: Further specifies "Sacks and bags (including cones)." This narrows down the product type to plastic sacks and bags.
- 3923.21.00: Indicates "Of polymers of ethylene". This means the bags are made from polyethylene (PE) plastic.
-
The last two digits (xx) differentiate the specific type of polyethylene bag:
- 3923.21.00.11: "Reclosable, with integral extruded closure" - These are reclosable bags, likely zip-lock style, with the closure built into the bag itself.
- 3923.21.00.20: "Reclosable, with integral extruded closure: Other, with sliders that open or close the seal" - Reclosable bags with a slider mechanism.
- 3923.21.00.30: "Reclosable, with integral extruded closure: Other" - Reclosable bags that don't fit the above slider description.
- 3923.21.00.80: "Other: With no single side exceeding 75 mm in length" - Bags made of polyethylene, not reclosable, with dimensions under 75mm on any side.
- 3923.21.00.85: "Other: Polyethylene retail carrier bags (PRCBs) with handles (including drawstrings), with no length or width shorter than 6 inches (152.4 mm) or longer than 40 inches (1,016 mm)" - Specifically for retail carrier bags with handles, within the specified size range.
- 3923.21.00.95: "Other: Other" - This is a catch-all for polyethylene bags that don't fit into any of the more specific categories above.
Tax Information:
All the HS codes listed have the same tax structure:
- Basic Tariff: 3.0%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0%
- Total Tariff: 58.0%
- Important Note: The additional tariff is scheduled to increase to 30% after April 2, 2025.
Recommendations & Key Considerations:
- Material Verification: Double-check that all bags are exclusively made of polymers of ethylene (polyethylene). If other plastics are present, the HS code will change.
- Closure Type: Accurately identify the closure mechanism (zip-lock, slider, drawstring, etc.) to select the correct code.
- Dimensions: Precisely measure the length and width of the bags, especially for codes 3923.21.00.80 and 3923.21.00.85.
- Retail Carrier Bags: If you are importing retail carrier bags, ensure they meet the size requirements for code 3923.21.00.85.
- Declaration Accuracy: Provide accurate descriptions and quantities on your customs declaration forms. Incorrect declarations can lead to delays and penalties.
- Future Tariff Changes: Be aware of the tariff increase scheduled for April 2, 2025, and factor it into your cost calculations.
