Okay, let's break down the classification and tax implications for your declared "WIG DECORATIVE SET". It appears your set potentially falls under two HS codes, which is common for composite goods. Here's a detailed analysis:
1. HS Code: 6704.19.00.00 – Wigs, false beards, eyebrows and eyelashes, switches and the like, of synthetic textile materials; articles of human hair not elsewhere specified or included: Other
- 67: Chapter 67 covers "Prepared animal skins and leather; articles of leather or of composition leather, not elsewhere specified or included". However, in this case, it's specifically for hair articles.
- 04: This heading covers wigs, false beards, eyebrows, eyelashes, switches, and similar items.
- 19: This subheading narrows it down to items made of synthetic textile materials. This is important – if the wigs are made of human or animal hair, a different HS code would apply.
- 00: This further specifies "Other" within the synthetic textile material category.
Tax Implications (6704.19.00.00):
- Basic Duty: 0.0%
- Additional Tariff: 7.5% (This is currently 7.5%, but will increase to 30% after April 2, 2025)
- Total Tax: 37.5% (Currently, but will be 63.5% after April 2, 2025)
2. HS Code: 6506.99.60.00 – Other headgear, whether or not lined or trimmed: Other: Of other materials: Other
- 65: Chapter 65 covers "Headgear and parts thereof".
- 06: This heading covers other headgear (not specifically hats or caps covered earlier in the chapter).
- 99: This subheading covers "Other" headgear made of other materials.
- 60: This further specifies "Other" within the "other materials" category.
Tax Implications (6506.99.60.00):
- Basic Duty: 8.5%
- Additional Tariff: 25.0% (This is currently 25.0%, but will increase to 30% after April 2, 2025)
- Total Tax: 63.5% (Currently, but will be 63.5% after April 2, 2025)
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: Crucially, you need to determine the exact material composition of each component of the "WIG DECORATIVE SET". If the wigs are made of human or animal hair, HS Code 6704.19.00.00 is likely incorrect. If the set includes components that are clearly headgear (like bands, clips, or decorative pieces that function as headwear), HS Code 6506.99.60.00 may apply.
- Set Classification: If the set is considered a single article for customs purposes (i.e., it's sold as a complete unit and the components are not individually valued), you may only need to classify it under one HS code – the one that represents the primary function and material of the set. If the components are individually valued and sold separately, you may need to classify them separately.
- Valuation: The declared value (single price) of the set is important.
- 2025 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the significant tariff increases scheduled for April 2, 2025. Factor this into your cost calculations.
- Certification: Depending on the destination country, you may need to provide certificates of origin or other documentation to benefit from preferential trade agreements. Check the import regulations of the destination country.
- Further Clarification: If you are unsure about the correct classification, it is always best to consult with a customs broker or the customs authorities in the destination country.
To help me provide more accurate advice, could you please tell me:
- What is the primary material of the wigs (human hair, animal hair, synthetic fiber)?
- Are the components of the set sold as a single unit, or individually?
- What is the destination country for the import?
