🍊 Orange Stick (Cuticle Sticks & Manicure Tools)
🌐 HS Code Reference & Customs Clearance Guide | 2026 Latest Tariff Analysis | Professional Compliance Strategy
📌 I. Product Definition: What is an "Orange Stick"?
In the world of cosmetics and personal care, an Orange Stick is a small, flat-ended wooden stick traditionally used to push back cuticles, apply nail polish, or clean under fingernails.
Key Classification Distinction:
- Raw Wooden Tool: If the item is simply a processed piece of wood without any bristles, rubber, or plastic components, it falls under Chapter 44 (Wood).
- Combined Material Tool: If the orange stick has a plastic handle, metal spring, or attached bristles/brushes, it may fall under Chapter 96 (Brushes) or Chapter 39 (Plastics).
- Toilet Brush vs. Artisan Tool: Simple wooden sticks are generally not classified as "toilet brushes" (Chapter 96) unless they are specifically designed as personal hygiene brushes. Most simple wooden orange sticks are classified as "Other Tool Handles" or "Other Articles of Wood."
⚠️ Critical Warning:
- Many importers mistakenly classify orange sticks under9603(Brushes). However, if the product is pure wood and not a "brush" in the traditional sense (no bristles/tufts), it belongs in Chapter 44.
- If the product is plastic or has plastic parts, it falls under Chapter 39 or Chapter 96.
- Customs often disputes Chapter 96 classifications for simple wooden sticks, leading to delays.
📦 II. HS Code Classification Matrix (2026 Authorized List)
Below are the only HS Codes provided in the <DATA> source. We must map "Orange Stick" to the most appropriate code based on its material and composition.
| HS Code | Product Description | Material Composition | Tax Rate (China → US) | Applicability to Orange Sticks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4417.00.80.10 | Other Tool handles (of wood) | 100% Wood (Processed wood, no other materials) |
30.1% (5.1% Base + 25% Additional) |
✅ Most Likely For plain, unadorned wooden sticks used as manicure tools. Classified as "wooden tool handles" or "articles of wood." |
| 4417.00.80.90 | Other articles of wood (Other Other) | 100% Wood (General wooden articles) |
30.1% (5.1% Base + 25% Additional) |
✅ Alternative If not strictly a "handle," but still pure wood. Same tax rate as above. |
| 3926.90.99.89 | Other articles of plastics and other materials | Plastic or Mixed Material (If made of plastic or composite) |
12.8% (5.3% Base + 7.5% Additional) |
⚠️ Possible If the orange stick is made of plastic (common in modern manufacturing) or has significant plastic components. |
| 9603.29.80.90 | Toothbrushes, shaving brushes... valued > 40¢ each | Brushes (With bristles/tufts) |
0.0% (No Base, No Additional) |
❌ Rarely Applicable Orange sticks do not have bristles. Unless it’s a fancy "brush" valued over $0.40, this code is likely incorrect for standard orange sticks. |

60.3% (2.8% Base + 7.5% Add. + 50% Steel/Al/Cu Surcharge) |

Avoid Chapter 96 Unless Certain:
-
Do not classify as
9603.29.80.90(0% duty) unless you are 100% sure it qualifies as a "brush valued over 40¢." The risk of audit and back-taxes is high. -
Avoid Chapter 96 Mixed Materials:
- Do not classify as
9603.90.80.50(60.3% duty). The 50% steel/aluminum/copper surcharge makes it extremely expensive.

关于 HS 编码归类
协调制度（HS）是由世界海关组织（WCO）制定的国际贸易商品分类标准。全球 200 多个国家采用 HS 系统作为海关关税、贸易统计和进出口监管的基础。
每个 HS 编码遵循以下层级结构：
- 章（2 位）——商品大类（例如：第 84 章：机器和机械设备）
- 品目（4 位）——章内的更具体分类
- 子目（6 位）——国际通用细分，所有 WCO 成员国统一使用
- 本国细分（8-10 位）——各国自行扩展的细分编码，如美国 HTSUS 10 位编码
正确的 HS 编码归类对于顺利通关、准确缴纳关税和遵守贸易法规至关重要。错误归类可能导致海关延误、多缴关税或罚款。
从CN进口到US时，适用的关税税率可能包括：
- 最惠国（MFN）税率——适用于 WTO 成员国的标准关税税率
- 普通税率——适用于无贸易协定国家
- 贸易救济关税——附加关税，如 301 条款（反倾销）、232 条款（国家安全）或反补贴税
