- Chapter 82: Handtools

Recommendations & Important Considerations:
- Material is Key: The primary material of the squeegee (metal, plastic, etc.) is the biggest factor in determining the correct HS code.
- Functionality: How the squeegee is used (handheld, mounted, etc.) also matters.
- April 2, 2025 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the upcoming tariff increases. Factor these into your cost calculations.
- Steel/Aluminum Additions: If the squeegee contains steel or aluminum, the additional tariffs may apply.
- Certification: Depending on the destination country, you may need to provide certifications related to product safety or materials.
- Single Declaration: If you are importing a variety of squeegees, consider whether you can declare them under a single HS code if they are substantially similar.
- Precise Description: Provide a detailed description of the squeegee to customs to avoid delays or issues.
To help me narrow down the most accurate HS code for your specific product, could you please tell me:
- What is the primary material of the squeegee (e.g., metal, plastic, wood)?
- Is the squeegee handheld, or is it designed to be mounted?
- What is the destination country for the import?
