Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material is Key: The HS code is highly dependent on the material of your sofa covers. Ensure you select the code that precisely matches the fabric composition.
- Knitted vs. Woven: The distinction between knitted/crocheted and not knitted/crocheted is important.
- Post-2025.4.2 Tariffs: Be aware of the significant tariff increases scheduled for April 2, 2025. Factor this into your cost calculations.
- Certificates: Depending on the material and intended use, you might need certificates of origin, material composition reports, or other documentation.
- Single Declaration: If you are importing a mix of sofa covers with different materials, you may need to declare them separately under different HS codes.
- Consult a Broker: For complex situations or large shipments, I strongly recommend consulting with a licensed customs broker in China and your destination country. They can provide expert guidance and ensure compliance with all regulations.
To help me narrow down the most accurate HS code for your specific situation, could you please tell me:
- What is the primary material of your sofa covers? (e.g., 100% cotton, polyester, a blend, leather, plastic)
- Are the sofa covers knitted or crocheted, or are they woven/not knitted/crocheted?
