8519.81.41.10: Sound recording or reproducing apparatus: Other apparatus: Using magnetic, optical or semiconductor media: Other Magnetic tape recorders incorporating sound reproducing apparatus.
- 85: Sound or video recording or reproducing apparatus.
- 19: Other apparatus.
- 81: Using magnetic, optical or semiconductor media.
- 41: Other Magnetic tape recorders incorporating sound reproducing apparatus.
- Note: If the VCR incorporates sound reproducing apparatus and uses magnetic tape, this code is applicable. The total tax rate is 30.0% (0.0% basic tariff + 30% additional tariff after April 2, 2025).
Important Considerations:
- Functionality: The key differentiator between these codes is the VCR’s primary function. If it primarily reproduces sound,
8519.81.10.00is more suitable. If it's a magnetic tape recorder with sound reproduction,8519.81.41.10is appropriate. - Material and Components: Please confirm the materials used in the VCR's construction.
- Date of Import: The additional tariff rates change after April 2, 2025. The import date will determine the applicable tax rate.
- Certification: Depending on the specific features and destination country, certain certifications might be required.
- Single Declaration: Ensure the declared HS code accurately reflects the product’s characteristics to avoid potential customs issues.
