🍙 Stainless Steel Rice Ball Mold (Food Grade Kitchenware)
🌐 HS Code Reference & Customs Clearance Guide | 2024/2025 Latest Tariff Analysis | Professional通关 Strategy
📌 I. Product Definition & Classification: Do You Really Understand the "Rice Ball Mold"?
The Stainless Steel Rice Ball Mold is a popular kitchen tool used for shaping sushi rice, onigiri, or other grain-based foods into uniform, aesthetic shapes. In international trade, despite the name "Stainless Steel," the classification often depends on the primary material and intended use.
⚠️ Critical Note from Data:
Although the product name specifies "Stainless Steel," the provided classification data implies that plastic, silicone, or ceramic variants are being analyzed, or that the "stainless steel" mold might be part of a kit where the contact surface is plastic/silicone. However, based strictly on the provided<DATA>snippets, the reasoning heavily relies on "Common Sense Inference" regarding material (Plastic/Silicone) vs. Actual Product.CRITICAL DISCREPANCY ALERT:
The provided<DATA>describes molds as Plastic/Silicone/Ceramic. If your product is TRULY 100% Stainless Steel, the HS Codes listed below (3924, 6911, 4419) are INCORRECT and will lead to customs rejection.
True Stainless Steel Mold should typically fall under 7323.93 (Table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof, of stainless steel).
However, since your task is to explain the provided<DATA>, the following analysis strictly interprets the Logic of the Provided Data, which assumes the mold is Plastic/Silicone/Ceramic or treats it as such for the sake of the tax calculation provided.For the purpose of this output, we will analyze the provided HS Codes as if the product were Plastic/Silicone/Ceramic, while adding a strong warning about the material mismatch.
📦 II. HS Code Classification Details (Based on Provided Data)
The provided data analyzes four potential classifications, primarily driven by material inference (Plastic/Silicone/Ceramic) and use case (Kitchenware).
| HS Code | Product Description (Inferred) | Material Assumption in Data | Use Case Logic |
|---|---|---|---|
4419.90.91.00 |
Wooden Tableware | Wood (Inferred) | Kitchen utensils; consistent with wooden tableware attributes. |
3924.10.40.00 |
Plastic Tableware | Plastic (Inferred) | Kitchenware; no conflict with plastic material. |
3924.10.30.00 |
Plastic Kitchenware/Trays | Plastic (Inferred) | Kitchen supplies/molds; consistent with plastic material. |
6911.10.80.10 |
Ceramic Tableware | Ceramic/Plastic/Silicone (Mixed Inference) | Tableware/Kitchenware; food-contact compliant. |
6911.10.80.90 |
Ceramic Tableware (Other) | Ceramic (Inferred) | Kitchenware; no conflict with ceramic material. |
🔍 Key Insight from Data:
- The data repeatedly uses the phrase "Common Sense Inference" (基于常识推断).
- It assumes the mold is made of Plastic, Silicone, or Ceramic because these are common materials for food molds, even if the name says "Stainless Steel."
- Warning: If your product is Stainless Steel, it does NOT match HS Code3924(Plastics),6911(Ceramics), or4419(Wood). It should be7323.93. The provided data seems to be for a Plastic/Silicone/Ceramic mold, not a Stainless Steel one. Please verify your actual product material.

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
