🩸 Blood Collection Needle (Medical Sampling Needle)
🌐 HS Code & Tariff Guide | 2026 U.S. Customs Compliance Deep Dive | Expert Clearing Strategy
📌 One Product, Five Critical HS Codes — Know Exactly Where It Falls!
📦 I. Product Definition & Classification: What Is a Blood Collection Needle?
A blood collection needle is a sterile, single-use, sharp-tipped, hollow metal needle designed for venipuncture — the process of drawing blood from veins, typically for diagnostic testing, transfusions, or medical monitoring.
⚠️ Key Classification Triggers: - Material: Metal (typically stainless steel) - Form: Hollow, tubular, sharp-pointed - Purpose: Medical blood sampling (not for injection or infusion) - Usage: Used with syringes or vacuum blood collection tubes (e.g., Vacutainer)
🔍 Critical Distinction: - If it's only a needle (no syringe, no holder) → HS Code 9018.32.00.00 - If it's a needle with a holder (e.g., butterfly needle) → HS Code 9018.39.00.50 - If it's a needle-only item made of steel → HS Code 7319.90.10.00
📊 II. HS Code Breakdown (2026 U.S. Tariff Schedule – Official Data)
| HS Code | Product Description | Key Features | Tax Implications |
|---|---|---|---|
9018.32.00.00 |
Hollow metal needles, for medical use (e.g., blood sampling, injection) | Tubular, sharp, metal (steel), used for blood draw | 10.0% total tariff |
9018.39.00.50 |
Other medical needles, including those for blood collection with holders | Includes butterfly needles, needle assemblies, or with protective caps | 10.0% total tariff |
7319.90.10.00 |
Other steel needles, for medical purposes (e.g., blood sampling) | Pure steel, no plastic or rubber parts, needle-only | 67.5% total tariff |
3926.90.99.50 |
Medical consumables made of plastic or other materials, not otherwise specified | If the needle is plastic-coated or made from non-metal, but used for blood collection | 22.8% total tariff |
8203.20.60.60 |
Medical manual tools made of metal, including surgical instruments | If the needle is part of a manual tool system (e.g., handheld blood lancet device) | 12¢/doz. + 5.5% + 35.0% |
✅ Note: The correct HS Code depends entirely on material, form, and function — not just the name "blood collection needle".

🛠️ IV. Clearance & Compliance Strategy (Pro Tips)
✅ 1. Pre-Submission Checklist (Must-Have)
| Document | Required? | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| ✅ Product Photos (clear, close-up) | ✔️ | Show material (metal/plastic), sharp tip, length |
| ✅ Material Certificate (e.g., 316L stainless steel) | ✔️ | Prove it’s not plastic → avoid 3926 |
| ✅ Bill of Lading & Commercial Invoice | ✔️ | Must state “Medical Blood Collection Needle, Stainless Steel, 23G” |
| ✅ FDA 510(k) or CE Mark (if applicable) | ✔️ | Helps avoid delays |
| ✅ Packing List | ✔️ | Show needle-only vs. with holder |
| ✅ Export License (if from China) | ✔️ | Required for some medical devices |
✅ 2.申报技巧（Key Rules）
🔥 “Material First, Form Second, Use Last” — The Golden Rule!
| Scenario | Correct HS Code | Why? |
|---|---|---|
| Pure steel needle, no holder, no plastic | 7319.90.10.00 |
High risk — 67.5% tariff! |
| Needle with plastic holder (butterfly) | 9018.39.00.50 |
Only 10% — Best option |
| Plastic-coated needle | 3926.90.99.50 |
22.8% — avoid if possible |
| Handheld lancet device | 8203.20.60.60 |
High cost — avoid if possible |
| Standard needle for syringe | 9018.32.00.00 |
10% — safest & most common |
✅ 3. Risk Mitigation (Avoid Costly Mistakes)
| ❌ Common Mistake | ✅ Correct Action |
|---|---|
| Calling a metal needle “plastic” to avoid 67.5% | ❌ Illegal — duty evasion |
| Not declaring material (steel vs. plastic) | ❌ Risk of reclassification & penalties |
| Using “needle” in name without specifying form | ❌ Leads to incorrect HS Code |
| Shipping from China without verifying tariff | ❌ 67.5% duty on steel-only needles |
📌 Pro Tip:
- Label the product clearly:“Stainless Steel Blood Collection Needle, 23G, 1.5”, No Holder, 1000 pcs/box”
NOT “Plastic-coated medical needle” — unless it truly is.

About HS Code Classification
The Harmonized System (HS) is an internationally standardized nomenclature developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) to classify traded products. Over 200 countries use the HS system as the basis for customs tariffs, trade statistics, and import/export regulations.
Each HS code follows a hierarchical structure:
- Chapter (2 digits) — Broad category of goods (e.g., Chapter 84: Machinery and Mechanical Appliances)
- Heading (4 digits) — More specific grouping within the chapter
- Subheading (6 digits) — Internationally standardized breakdown, used by all WCO member countries
- National subdivisions (8-10 digits) — Country-specific extensions for further classification, such as US HTSUS 10-digit codes
Correct HS code classification is essential for smooth customs clearance, accurate duty payment, and compliance with trade regulations. Misclassification can lead to customs delays, overpayment of duties, or penalties.
When importing from CN to US, the applicable tariff rates may include:
- Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) rate — The standard duty rate applied to WTO members
- General rate — Applied to countries without trade agreements
- Trade remedy duties — Additional tariffs such as Section 301 (anti-dumping), Section 232 (national security), or countervailing duties
