Stainless Steel Silicone Insulation Pad - HS Code Classification
This document details potential HS Code classifications for a stainless steel silicone insulation pad, based on available information. It’s crucial to accurately determine the composition and intended use for correct classification.
Here's a breakdown of potential HS Codes, with explanations:
1. 7323930060 – Table, kitchen or other household articles and parts thereof, of iron or steel; iron or steel wool; pot scourers and scouring or polishing pads, gloves and the like, of iron or steel: Other: Of stainless steel Cooking and kitchen ware: Other: Kitchen ware
- 73: Iron or steel articles.
- 23: Table, kitchen or household articles.
- 93: Other. This covers a broad range of iron/steel articles not specifically classified elsewhere.
- 0060: Specifically for stainless steel cooking and kitchen ware.
- Applicability: If the pad is primarily used as a kitchen utensil (e.g., trivet, hot pad for cooking), this is a strong candidate.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 2.0%, Additional Tariff: 0.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30% for steel/aluminum products, Total Tariff: 57.0%.
2. 3926904000 – Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Other: Imitation gemstones
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
- 26: Other articles of plastics.
- 90: Other.
- 4000: Specifically for imitation gemstones.
- Applicability: If the silicone component is a significant part of the pad and is decorative (e.g., molded shapes), this code might apply, although it's less likely than others.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 2.8%, Additional Tariff: 0.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%, Total Tariff: 32.8%.
3. 3910000000 – Silicones in primary forms
- 39: Plastics and articles thereof.
- 10: Silicones.
- 0000: Covers silicones in their basic, unprocessed form.
- Applicability: If the pad is being imported as a raw silicone sheet or component before being assembled with stainless steel, this code is relevant.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 3.0%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%, Total Tariff: 58.0%.
4. 4016990500 – Other articles of vulcanized rubber other than hard rubber: Other: Other: Household articles not elsewhere specified or included
- 40: Rubber and articles thereof.
- 16: Articles of vulcanized rubber.
- 99: Other.
- 0500: Specifically for household articles not elsewhere specified.
- Applicability: If the silicone is considered a rubber-like material and the pad is for general household use (e.g., protecting surfaces), this could apply.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 3.4%, Additional Tariff: 7.5%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%, Total Tariff: 40.9%.
5. 7326908688 – Other articles of iron or steel: Other: Other: Other: Other
- 73: Iron or steel articles.
- 26: Other articles of iron or steel.
- 90: Other.
- 86: Other.
- 88: Other.
- Applicability: This is a broad “catch-all” category for iron/steel articles not fitting elsewhere. It's likely to apply if the pad doesn't clearly fall into other categories.
- Tax Rate: Base Tariff: 2.9%, Additional Tariff: 25.0%, Post 2025.4.2 Additional Tariff: 30%, Total Tariff: 82.9%.
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The precise ratio of stainless steel to silicone is crucial. If one material clearly dominates, that HS Code is more appropriate.
- Intended Use: How is the pad marketed and used? (Kitchen, general household, industrial?)
- Assembly Status: Is it a raw material, a component, or a finished product?
- Certification: Depending on the intended use (e.g., food contact), specific certifications (e.g., FDA compliance for silicone) may be required.
- Single vs. Combined Materials: If the stainless steel and silicone are permanently bonded, it's generally classified as a single item under the HS Code of the dominant material or the item's primary function.
- Need to check the material and unit price, and what kind of certification is needed.
