Okay, let's break down the HS codes you've provided for "THIN GAUZE ROLL". I'll explain each one, its potential application, and important considerations. I'll also highlight the impact of the upcoming tariff changes.

Understanding HS Codes: A Quick Primer

HS codes (Harmonized System codes) are internationally standardized codes used to classify traded products. The first two digits generally indicate the chapter, the next two the subheading, and so on. Here's how to interpret them in this context:

Detailed HS Code Analysis

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

  1. 3005.90.50.90 – Wadding, gauze, bandages… impregnated/coated with pharmaceutical substances or put up for retail sale (medical/surgical/dental/veterinary)

    • Meaning: This code is specifically for gauze and similar articles treated with medicine or packaged for medical use.
    • Tax: 0.0% base tariff, 30% after April 2, 2025.
    • Considerations: If your gauze is not medicated and is sold as a raw material, this code is incorrect. You'll need to look at the cotton or synthetic fabric codes. Verify if your product qualifies as a medical device/pharmaceutical product. Documentation proving medical use may be required.

  2. 5208.11.20.90 – Woven fabrics of cotton (85% or more cotton), weighing ≤ 200 g/m², unbleached, plain weave, number 42 or lower, cheesecloth

    • Meaning: This is for unbleached cotton cheesecloth, relatively lightweight.
    • Tax: 7.0% base tariff, 62% total after April 2, 2025.
    • Considerations: Confirm the cotton content is ≥ 85%. Verify the weight is ≤ 200 g/m². Check the weave type. If bleached, or a different weave, this code is wrong.

  3. 5212.11.60.50 – Other woven fabrics of cotton, weighing ≤ 200 g/m², unbleached, other, cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, batistes

    • Meaning: This is for unbleached cotton fabrics other than those in 5208, weighing ≤ 200 g/m².
    • Tax: 7.8% base tariff, 62.8% total after April 2, 2025.
    • Considerations: Similar to 5208, confirm cotton content and weight. This code is for cotton fabrics that don't fit the specific criteria of 5208.

  4. 5515.19.00.30 – Other woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers, polyester staple fibers, other, cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, batistes

    • Meaning: This is for cheesecloth-like fabrics made from polyester staple fibers.
    • Tax: 12.0% base tariff, 67% total after April 2, 2025.
    • Considerations: Confirm the material is polyester staple fiber.

  5. 5515.99.90.30 – Other woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers, other woven fabrics, other, other, cheesecloth, lawns, voiles, batistes

    • Meaning: This is a catch-all for synthetic staple fiber fabrics that don't fit more specific codes.
    • Tax: 8.5% base tariff, 63.5% total after April 2, 2025.
    • Considerations: Use this code only if your fabric doesn't fit any other 5515 codes.

  6. 5404.90.00.00 – Synthetic monofilament < 67 decitex, not elsewhere specified

    • Meaning: This is for very fine synthetic filaments.
    • Tax: 0.0% base tariff, 55% total after April 2, 2025.
    • Considerations: Confirm the decitex is < 67. This is for a specific type of synthetic fiber.

  7. 5405.00.60.00 – Artificial monofilament < 67 decitex, not elsewhere specified

    • Meaning: This is for very fine artificial filaments.
    • Tax: 5.8% base tariff, 60.8% total after April 2, 2025.
    • Considerations: Confirm the decitex is < 67. This is for a specific type of artificial fiber.

  8. 5609.00.10.00 – Articles of yarn, strip, twine, cordage, rope, cables, cotton

    • Meaning: This is for cotton yarn, twine, rope, etc.
    • Tax: 2.9% base tariff, 57.9% total after April 2, 2025.
    • Considerations: This is for products made from cotton yarn, not the fabric itself.

Recommendations & Next Steps

  1. Material Composition: The most important factor is the material. Is it cotton, polyester, or another synthetic?
  2. Intended Use: Is it for medical purposes (3005)? Or is it a raw material for other products?
  3. Weight & Weave: If cotton, confirm the weight (≤ 200 g/m²) and weave type.
  4. Decitex: If a filament, confirm the decitex.
  5. April 2, 2025 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the significant tariff increases coming into effect.
  6. Supplier Documentation: Obtain a detailed specification sheet from your supplier, including material composition, weight, weave, and decitex (if applicable).
  7. Consider a Binding Ruling: For certainty, you can request a binding ruling from customs authorities. This is a formal determination of the correct HS code for your product.
