Find product classification and trade information for TRIMMER BOARD

Okay, here's a breakdown of the HS codes provided for "TRIMMER BOARD," along with explanations and important considerations. I'll present this in a structured format, as requested. Please note the significant tariff changes scheduled for April 11, 2025.

Understanding HS Codes: A Quick Primer

The Harmonized System (HS) code is a standardized international system of names and numbers to classify traded products. Here's how it generally works:

• First 2 Digits: Indicate the Chapter (broad category of goods).
• First 4 Digits: Indicate the Heading (more specific grouping).
• First 6 Digits: Indicate the Subheading (even more specific).
• Further Digits: Country-specific classifications for even greater detail.

Analysis of Provided HS Codes for "TRIMMER BOARD"

Let's examine each HS code and its implications:

1. 6808.00.00.00 – Vegetable Fiber/Straw/Wood Panels/Boards (Cement/Plaster Bound)

• Chapter 68: Articles of stone, plaster, cement, asbestos, mica or similar materials.
• Heading 6808: Articles of vegetable fibers or of straw, of paper pulp or of other fibrous cellulosic material, not elsewhere specified or included. This covers panels, boards, tiles, etc., made from these materials and bound with cement, plaster, or other mineral binders.
• Tax: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post-April 11, 2025: 145%. Total: 170.0%
• Considerations: This code is suitable if your "TRIMMER BOARD" is primarily made of vegetable fibers, straw, or wood shavings/particles and is bound together using cement, plaster, or similar mineral binders. Material composition is key here.

2. 4410.11.00.60 – Wood Particle Board/OSB (Resin/Organic Bound)

• Chapter 44: Wood and articles of wood; wood charcoal.
• Heading 4410: Particle board, oriented strand board (OSB) and similar board.
• Subheading 4410.11: Of wood: Particle board.
• Tax: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post-April 11, 2025: 145%. Total: 170.0%
• Considerations: This is the most likely code if your "TRIMMER BOARD" is made of wood particles (or similar materials) and is bonded together using resins or other organic binding substances. Confirm the binding agent.

3. 3925.90.00.00 – Plastic Builder's Ware (Other)

• Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
• Heading 3925: Builders' ware of plastics (e.g., pipes, fittings, moldings).
• Subheading 3925.90: Other.
• Tax: Base Tariff: 5.3%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post-April 11, 2025: 145%. Total: 175.3%
• Considerations: This code applies only if your "TRIMMER BOARD" is made entirely of plastic. This is less likely unless it's a specifically plastic construction material.

4. 5404.90.00.00 – Synthetic Monofilament/Strip (Other)

• Chapter 54: Synthetic fibers.
• Heading 5404: Synthetic monofilament of <67 decitex or more and of which no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 mm; strip and the like of synthetic textile materials of an apparent width not exceeding 5 mm.
• Subheading 5404.90: Other.
• Tax: Base Tariff: 0.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post-April 11, 2025: 145%. Total: 170.0%
• Considerations: This code is for synthetic fibers formed into monofilaments or strips. Highly unlikely to be applicable to a "TRIMMER BOARD" unless it's a very unusual construction.

5. 5405.00.60.00 – Artificial Monofilament/Strip (Other)

• Chapter 54: Synthetic fibers.
• Heading 5405: Artificial monofilament of <67 decitex or more and of which no cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 mm; strip and the like of artificial textile materials of an apparent width not exceeding 5 mm.
• Subheading 5405.00: Other.
• Tax: Base Tariff: 5.8%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post-April 11, 2025: 145%. Total: 175.8%
• Considerations: Similar to 5404.00.00, this is for artificial fibers formed into monofilaments or strips. Highly unlikely to be applicable to a "TRIMMER BOARD" unless it's a very unusual construction.

6. 5609.00.40.00 – Yarn/Strip/Cordage (Other)

• Chapter 56: Textile waste; woven, knitted or crocheted fabrics not elsewhere specified or included; articles of textile materials not elsewhere specified or included.
• Heading 5609: Articles of yarn, strip or the like of heading 5404 or 5405, twine, cordage, rope or cables, not elsewhere specified or included.
• Subheading 5609.00: Other.
• Tax: Base Tariff: 3.9%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post-April 11, 2025: 145%. Total: 173.9%
• Considerations: This code is for articles made from yarn, strip, or similar materials. Highly unlikely to be applicable to a "TRIMMER BOARD" unless it's a very unusual construction.

Recommendations:

1. Material Composition: The primary material of your "TRIMMER BOARD" is the most important factor in determining the correct HS code.
2. Binding Agent: If it's wood-based, how is it held together (resin, cement, etc.)?
3. Confirm with Customs: For definitive classification, it's always best to consult with your local customs authority or a customs broker.
4. Post-April 11, 2025 Tariffs: Be prepared for significantly higher tariffs after April 11, 2025, due to the increased additional tariff.
5. Documentation: Ensure you have accurate and detailed product descriptions, material specifications, and invoices.

Please provide more details about the composition of your "TRIMMER BOARD," and I can help you narrow down the most appropriate HS code.
