Okay, let's break down the HS codes you've provided for your "SCREEN PROTECTOR" declarations. I'll provide a detailed analysis, focusing on what each code means and potential considerations for import.
Understanding HS Codes: A Quick Primer
HS codes (Harmonized System codes) are internationally standardized codes used to classify traded products. They're crucial for determining tariffs, taxes, and import regulations. The first 6 digits are generally standardized globally, while the last digits can vary by country.
Here's a breakdown of each code you provided:
1. HS Code: 3919.10.20.30 – Self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, strip and other flat shapes, of plastics, whether or not in rolls
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof. This chapter covers a wide range of plastic products.
- 19: Plastics in plates, sheets, film, foil, strip, etc. This narrows it down to flat plastic shapes.
- 10: Self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, strip and other flat shapes, of plastics. Specifically focuses on adhesive plastic products.
- 20: In rolls of a width not exceeding 20 cm. This specifies the form factor – rolled plastic tape under 20cm wide.
- 30: Other. This is a further sub-categorization.
- Description: Transparent tape, not exceeding 55 m in length, not exceeding 5 cm in width.
- Tax: 60.8% (Base Tariff: 5.8%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post-April 2, 2025 Additional Tariff: 30%)
2. HS Code: 3919.90.50.40 – Self-adhesive plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, strip and other flat shapes, of plastics, whether or not in rolls
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
- 19: Plastics in plates, sheets, film, foil, strip, etc.
- 90: Other. This covers plastic plates, sheets, film, foil, tape, strip, etc. not specifically covered elsewhere in 3919.
- 50: Other. This is a further sub-categorization.
- Description: Transparent tape.
- Tax: 60.8% (Base Tariff: 5.8%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post-April 2, 2025 Additional Tariff: 30%)
3. HS Code: 7007.19.00.00 – Safety glass, consisting of toughened (tempered) or laminated glass
- 70: Glass and glass articles.
- 07: Glass of a kind used for windows, doors, etc.
- 19: Toughened (tempered) safety glass. This specifically identifies tempered glass.
- 00: Other.
- Description: Toughened (tempered) safety glass.
- Tax: 60.0% (Base Tariff: 5.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post-April 2, 2025 Additional Tariff: 30%)
4. HS Code: 7020.00.60.00 – Other articles of glass

- Tax: 60.0% (Base Tariff: 5.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post-April 2, 2025 Additional Tariff: 30%)
5. HS Code: 9001.90.80.00 – Optical fibers and optical fiber bundles; optical fiber cables other than those of heading 8544; sheets and plates of polarizing material; lenses (including contact lenses), prisms, mirrors and other optical elements, of any material, unmounted, other than such elements of glass not optically worked
- 90: Optical, precision, medical, surgical, dental instruments and apparatus.
- 01: Optical fibers and optical fiber bundles; optical fiber cables.
- 90: Other.
- 80: Other.
- Description: Halftone screens designed for use in engraving or photographic processes.
- Tax: 55.0% (Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post-April 2, 2025 Additional Tariff: 30%)
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The HS code is heavily dependent on the material of the screen protector. Are they primarily plastic (PET, TPU, etc.), glass (tempered glass), or a combination? Ensure the HS code accurately reflects the dominant material.
- Adhesive Type: The type of adhesive used can sometimes influence the classification.
- Width and Length: For the 3919 codes, pay close attention to the width and length specifications.
- Functionality: What is the primary function of the screen protector? Is it purely protective, or does it have additional features (e.g., anti-glare, privacy filters)?
- Post-April 2, 2025 Tariffs: Be aware of the upcoming tariff changes. Factor the potential 30% additional tariff into your cost calculations.
- Certifications: Depending on the intended use and destination country, you may need certifications (e.g., RoHS, REACH) to demonstrate compliance with safety and environmental standards.
- Country of Origin: Confirm the country of origin for accurate tariff application.
- Detailed Invoice: Provide a detailed invoice with a clear description of the goods, material composition, and specifications to customs authorities.
