Okay, here's a breakdown of the HS codes you provided for "WATER CUP" (and related tableware/kitchenware), along with explanations, tax details, and important considerations. I'll structure this to be clear and helpful.
Understanding HS Codes: A Quick Primer
The Harmonized System (HS) code is a standardized international system of names and numbers to classify traded products. The first 6 digits are standardized globally, while countries can add further digits for more specific categorization.
- First 2 Digits (Chapter): Broadly define the product category.
- Next 2 Digits (Heading): Further refine the category.
- Next 2 Digits (Subheading): Even more specific classification.
- Remaining Digits: National-level specificity.
Analysis of Your HS Codes
Here's a breakdown of each HS code you provided, with explanations and key points:
1. 7013.37.10.90 – Glassware (Other Drinking Glasses)
- Chapter 70: Glass and glassware.
- Heading 7013: Glassware of a kind used for table, kitchen, toilet, office, indoor decoration or similar purposes.
- Subheading 7013.37: Other drinking glasses.
- Tax: High total tax rate of 181.0% (Base + Additional + Potential 2025 increase).
- Note: This is for relatively inexpensive glassware (valued under $0.30 each).
2. 6911.10.52.00 – Porcelain/China Tableware (Cups, etc. - Higher Value)
- Chapter 69: Ceramic products.
- Heading 6911: Tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and toilet articles, of porcelain or china.
- Subheading 6911.10: Tableware and kitchenware.
- Tax: 160.5% total tax.
- Note: This applies to cups, saucers, etc., valued between specific price ranges per dozen (e.g., cups over $8 but not over $29/dozen). The price range is critical for correct classification.
3. 6911.10.58.00 – Porcelain/China Tableware (Even Higher Value)
- Chapter 69: Ceramic products.
- Heading 6911: Tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and toilet articles, of porcelain or china.

- Subheading 6912.00: Tableware and kitchenware.

- Note: This is for ceramic items not made of porcelain or china. Again, the price per dozen is a key factor.
5. 3924.10.20.00 – Plastic Tableware

- Heading 3924: Tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and hygienic or toilet articles, of plastics.

- Heading 7323: Table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof, of iron or steel.

Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material is Key: The material of the water cup (glass, ceramic, plastic, metal, wood) is the primary driver of the HS code.
- Value/Price Range: For ceramic and porcelain items, the value per dozen is critical. Ensure you classify correctly based on the price.
- 2025 Tariff Increase: Be aware of the significant tariff increases scheduled for 2025.
- Country of Origin: The country of origin affects tariffs.
- Certifications: Depending on the material and intended use (especially for food contact), you may need certifications (e.g., FDA compliance for plastics).
- Double-Check: Always verify the HS code with your customs broker or local customs authority. Incorrect classification can lead to delays, penalties, and unexpected costs.
- Steel/Aluminum Tariffs: The 25% additional tariffs on steel and aluminum are significant. Consider alternative materials if possible.
To help me refine the classification further, could you tell me:
- What is the primary material of the water cups?
- What is the value per dozen of the water cups? (This is crucial for ceramic/porcelain items).
- What is the intended use of the water cups? (e.g., general drinking, hot beverages, etc.)
