Find product classification and trade information for PROFESSIONAL 4 IN 1 MANUAL SHARPENER

Okay, let's break down the classification and potential duties for your "PROFESSIONAL 4 IN 1 MANUAL SHARPENER" based on the HS codes you've received. It appears the system has suggested three possible classifications, which is common for multi-functional items. We need to determine the most accurate one to minimize issues with customs.

Here's a detailed analysis:

1. HS Code: 8205.50.00.00 – Other handtools (including glass cutters) and parts

• 82: Metalworking tools (This is the chapter – broad category)
• 05: Hand tools (pneumatic, hydraulic or with self-operating mechanisms) and parts thereof; blow torches.

• 50: Other handtools (including glass cutters) and parts.

  • Analysis: This code is a good starting point if your sharpener is primarily constructed of metal and functions as a traditional hand tool. However, the "parts" designation is broad.
  • Duty: Tax detail failed to retrieve, total tax is error. Need to check the specific tax rate.

2. HS Code: 4417.00.80.10 – Tools, tool bodies, tool handles, broom or brush bodies and handles, of wood; boot or shoe lasts and trees, of wood: --> Other --> Tool handles

• 44: Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal. (Chapter)
• 17: Tools, tool bodies, tool handles, broom or brush bodies and handles, of wood; boot or shoe lasts and trees, of wood.
• 00: Tools, tool bodies, tool handles, broom or brush bodies and handles, of wood.
• 80: Other

• 10: Tool handles

  • Analysis: This code applies specifically if the handles of your sharpener are made of wood. If wood is a significant component, this is a strong possibility.
  • Duty: Base Tariff: 5.1%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Additional Tariff after 2025.4.2: 30%. Total Tax: 60.1%. This is a relatively high tariff.

3. HS Code: 3926.90.99.89 – Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: --> Other: --> Other --> Other

• 39: Plastics and articles thereof. (Chapter)
• 26: Articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914.
• 90: Other
• 99: Other

• 89: Other

  • Analysis: This code is a catch-all for plastic articles or articles made from a mix of materials not specifically covered elsewhere. If your sharpener is primarily plastic, or a combination of plastic and other materials (and doesn't fit neatly into metal or wood categories), this is likely the best fit.
  • Duty: Base Tariff: 5.3%, Additional Tariff: 7.5%, Additional Tariff after 2025.4.2: 30%. Total Tax: 42.8%.

Recommendation & Next Steps:

Based on the information provided, HS Code 3926.90.99.89 (Plastics articles) appears to be the most likely classification, assuming your sharpener is primarily made of plastic or a combination of materials where plastic is dominant. However, the final determination depends on the material composition of the sharpener.

Crucially, you need to provide more detail about the sharpener's construction:

• What are the primary materials used? (e.g., plastic type, metal type, wood type, etc.) Percentage breakdown is helpful.
• What is the function of each material? (e.g., handle, blade housing, base, etc.)
• What is the single piece price (FOB price)? This can affect tariff calculations and potential valuation issues.
• Do you have any certifications for the product? (e.g., CE, RoHS, etc.) These may be required for import depending on the destination country.

Important Reminders:

• Accuracy is key: Choosing the correct HS code is your responsibility. Incorrect classification can lead to delays, fines, and other penalties.
• Consult with a customs broker: I can provide guidance, but a licensed customs broker in your destination country is the best resource for definitive classification and compliance advice.
• Keep detailed records: Maintain documentation supporting your HS code selection (material composition, product specifications, etc.).
