💖 Laser Heart Mold (Laser-Cut Heart-Shaped Template)

🌐 HS Code & Tariff Guide | 2026 Customs Classification & Duty Breakdown | Expert Import Strategy
📌 One Product, Five Critical HS Codes – Know the Difference Before You Ship!

📦 一、Product Definition & Classification: What Exactly Is a "Laser Heart Mold"?

A laser heart mold is a decorative plastic or ceramic template used for crafting, art projects, or decorative resin casting. It is typically not a functional tool, but rather a stylized shape used to guide the creation of heart-shaped items (e.g., resin art, candle molds, DIY jewelry, or wall décor).

⚠️ Key Clarification:
- If it's made of plastic and used to shape resin, wax, or clay → Plastic mold
- If it's ceramic, non-functional, and decorative → Other ceramic product
- If it's used as a stencil or template → May fall under "other plastic articles"
- NOT a tool for industrial use → Not classified as a mechanical part or die

🔍 Critical Insight:
The material and intended use determine the HS Code — not the name.
A "laser heart mold" with plastic is NOT the same as one made of ceramic.

📊 二、HS Code Classification Breakdown (2026 Official Tariff Table)

❗ Important Note:
- Do NOT use 8205.51.75.00 for decorative molds — this is for functional tools like kitchen utensils or garden tools.
- Do NOT use 3926.90.99.89 if the item is ceramic — it’s material-specific.

✅ Applicable Country: United States (US)
✅ Origin: China (CN)
✅ Effective Date: November 10, 2025
✅ Applicable to: All imports from China under U.S. trade policy

🎯 1. 3926.90.99.89 — Plastic Decorative Mold (Non-Functional)

📌 Why This Applies:
- The item is plastic, decorative, and not a functional tool.

- No mechanical function → Not a tool → Not 8205.51.75.00.

🎯 2. 6914.10.80.00 — Ceramic Decorative Item (Non-Functional)

📌 Why This Applies:

🎯 3. 6914.90.80.00 — Other Ceramic Articles (Same as Above)

📌 Why This Applies:
- Same as 6914.10.80.00 — ceramic, non-functional, decorative.
- No conflict with material — no overlap with other codes.
- Slightly lower base rate than 6914.10.80.00, but same total due to 25% + 10% add-ons.

🎯 4. 3926.40.00.90 — Plastic Film/Coating (Thin, Flexible)

📌 Why This Applies:
- If the "laser heart mold" is a thin, flexible plastic film (e.g., a stencil), then this is the correct code.
- Not a rigid mold → not 3926.90.99.89 → use this instead.
- No USITC add-on (0%) → lower total duty.

⚠️ WARNING:
- This code is only for functional tools (e.g., spatulas, tongs, kitchen scrapers).
