Find product classification and trade information for SEQUIN

Okay, let's break down these HS codes for "SEQUIN" and understand the potential classifications, tax implications, and important considerations. I'll provide a structured analysis, explaining each code's meaning and offering advice.

Understanding HS Code Structure

Before we dive in, remember that HS codes are a standardized system. The first two digits generally indicate the chapter, the next two the subheading, and further digits provide more specific classifications.

Analysis of Provided HS Codes

Here's a breakdown of each code, with explanations and recommendations:

1. 3926.90.35.00 – Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials… Beads, bugles and spangles, not strung (except temporarily) and not set; articles thereof, not elsewhere specified or included: --> Other

Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Material Composition: The primary material of your sequins is the most important factor in determining the correct HS code.
• Strung vs. Unstrung: Whether the sequins are pre-strung or loose will affect the classification.
• Coating: If coated, the type of coating (precious metal, etc.) is crucial.
• End Use: How the sequins are used (clothing, furniture, etc.) can also influence the code.
• April 2, 2025 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the upcoming tariff increases.
• Documentation: Keep detailed records of material composition, manufacturing processes, and intended use.
• Consult a Licensed Customs Broker: For complex cases or high-value shipments, it's highly recommended to consult a licensed customs broker in China. They can provide definitive guidance and ensure compliance.

To help me narrow down the best HS code for your specific sequins, please provide the following information:

1. What is the primary material of the sequins? (Plastic, glass, copper, cotton, etc.)
2. Are the sequins pre-strung or loose?
3. If coated, what is the coating material?
4. What is the intended end use of the sequins? (Clothing, furniture, crafts, etc.)

I hope this detailed analysis is helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.
