Okay, here's a breakdown of the HS codes you provided, with explanations and important considerations. I'll focus on providing clarity and highlighting potential issues.
Understanding HS Codes & Tax Implications
The Harmonized System (HS) code is a standardized numerical method of classifying traded products. It's used worldwide to ensure consistent tariff treatment. The first 6 digits are standardized internationally, while countries can add further digits for more specific classifications. The tax details you've provided show the base tariff, additional tariff, and a significant increase scheduled for April 11, 2025. This is a crucial date to be aware of!
Here's a breakdown of each HS code, with explanations and advice:
1. 7216.50.00.00 – Angles, Shapes & Sections of Iron/Non-Alloy Steel * Meaning: This covers angles, shapes, and sections of iron or non-alloy steel, specifically those that haven't undergone significant further processing beyond hot-rolling, hot-drawing, or extrusion. * Tax: Currently 0% base + 0% additional, increasing to 145% after April 11, 2025. * Advice: Confirm the exact manufacturing process. If the product has been further worked (e.g., cut to precise dimensions, welded, etc.), a different HS code might be more appropriate.
2. 7604.10.50.00 – Aluminum Bars, Rods & Profiles (Non-Alloyed) * Meaning: This covers bars and rods of non-alloyed aluminum. * Tax: 3.0% base + 0% additional, increasing to 145% after April 11, 2025. * Advice: Verify the aluminum alloy composition. If it is an alloy, HS code 7604.29.50.90 would be correct.
3. 7604.29.50.90 – Aluminum Bars, Rods & Profiles (Alloyed) * Meaning: This covers bars and rods of alloyed aluminum. * Tax: 3.0% base + 0% additional, increasing to 145% after April 11, 2025. * Advice: Same as above – confirm the alloy composition.
4. 3926.90.99.89 – Articles of Plastics/Other Materials * Meaning: This is a very broad "catch-all" category for articles made of plastics or other materials. * Tax: 5.3% base + 7.5% additional, increasing to 145% after April 11, 2025. * Advice: This HS code is often used when a more specific classification isn't possible. However, try to determine the primary material and function of the item. A more specific HS code could lower the tariff.
5. 7016.10.00.00 – Glass Smallwares (Mosaics/Decorative) * Meaning: This covers glass cubes and smallwares used for mosaics or decorative purposes. * Tax: 2.7% base + 25.0% additional, increasing to 145% after April 11, 2025. * Advice: Ensure the glass is genuinely intended for mosaics or decoration. If it's structural glass, a different HS code is needed.
6. 7016.90.10.50 – Other Glass Articles (Building/Construction) * Meaning: This covers other glass articles used in building or construction. * Tax: 8.0% base + 25.0% additional, increasing to 145% after April 11, 2025. * Advice: Confirm the intended use. If it's for automotive or other specialized applications, a different HS code might apply.
7. 4421.91.88.00 – Bamboo Articles (Canoe Paddles) * Meaning: This covers other articles of bamboo. * Tax: 0.0% base + 0.0% additional, increasing to 145% after April 11, 2025. * Advice: Confirm the material is genuinely bamboo.
8. 4421.91.88.00 – (Duplicate) Bamboo Articles (Canoe Paddles) * Note: This is a duplicate entry.
9. 6904.90.00.00 – Ceramic Bricks/Blocks * Meaning: This covers ceramic building bricks, flooring blocks, etc. * Tax: 0.0% base + 25.0% additional, increasing to 145% after April 11, 2025.
10. 5806.32.10.20 – Narrow Woven Fabrics (Man-Made Fibers, Polyester, Woven Selvedge, Wire) * Meaning: This is a very specific HS code for narrow woven fabrics made of polyester with wire in the selvedge. * Tax: 6.0% base + 25.0% additional, increasing to 145% after April 11, 2025. * Advice: Confirm all the specifications (material, width, selvedge) are accurate.
11. 5806.32.10.30 – Narrow Woven Fabrics (Man-Made Fibers, Polyester, Woven Selvedge, No Wire) * Meaning: Similar to above, but without wire in the selvedge. * Tax: 6.0% base + 25.0% additional, increasing to 145% after April 11, 2025.
12. 5807.90.20.90 – Labels/Badges (Textile) * Meaning: This covers labels, badges, and similar articles made of textile materials. * Tax: 3.3% base + 25.0% additional, increasing to 145% after April 11, 2025.
13. 4823.69.00.40 – Paper Trays/Dishes * Meaning: This covers trays, dishes, plates, etc., made of paper or paperboard. * Tax: 0.0% base + 25.0% additional, increasing to 145% after April 11, 2025.

15. 9503.00.00.90 – Toys/Models * Meaning: This covers a wide range of toys, models, and puzzles. * Tax: 0.0% base + 0.0% additional, increasing to 145% after April 11, 2025.
Key Reminders & Recommendations:
- April 11, 2025: The significant tariff increase is a critical date. Plan accordingly!
- Material Verification: Double-check the exact materials used in each product. This is crucial for accurate HS code classification.
- Function/Use: The intended use of the product is also important.
- Certifications: Depending on the product and destination country, you may need specific certifications (e.g., safety, quality).
- Consult a Customs Broker: For complex classifications or large shipments, it's always best to consult with a qualified customs broker in both the exporting and importing countries.
