Leads, not suggestions

1. 1.9403.89.00.00Lead only

   A storage ottoman is a piece of furniture; 9403.89.00.00 covers 'Other furniture' of materials other than wood/metal/plastics (e.g. cane, bamboo, similar). Without knowing the material this is the only furniture candidate and is a probable fit, but material confirmation is needed.

US Customs gave 9403.89. The first lead matches.

Goods description

diamond anvils. The product under consideration is a specialized diamond anvil for high-pressure experiments. The anvil itself is made of diamonds. Two of those anvils are inserted in the diamond anvil cell (DAC) and the pressure is created by moving the diamonds together using the screws. These specialized diamond anvils are used for studies on the structure-property relationships of materials under extreme conditions.

Leads, not suggestions

1. 1.7102.29.00.00Lead only

   If the diamonds are natural, these worked diamond anvils used as industrial tools fit 'diamonds, whether or not worked, but not mounted or set - Industrial: Other' (7102.29.00.00); the anvils are worked (shaped) and used for high-pressure industrial/scientific experiments.

2. 2.7104.91.00.00Lead only

   If the diamonds are synthetic/reconstructed, 7104.91.00.00 (synthetic or reconstructed precious stones - Diamonds, other, i.e. worked) would apply; synthetic diamonds are commonly used for high-pressure anvil applications.

3. 3.7104.21.00.00Lead only

   7104.21.00.00 covers unworked synthetic diamonds; the anvils are shaped/worked, so this is a weaker fit than 7104.91.00.00, but listed as a fallback if they are considered unworked synthetic diamonds.

US Customs gave 7116.20. None of the leads match.

Goods description

a tote bag. The subject merchandise is a tote bag which measures approximately 17” wide x 14” high x 8” deep. It is designed and sized to provide storage, protection, portability, and organization to personal effects during travel. It is of a durable construction and suitable for repetitive use. The bottom portion of the bag is constructed of interwoven paper strips and thus, is considered to be made of plaiting material.

1. 1.4202.92.90.00score 62%

   The bag is a tote designed for travel/personal effects storage, matching heading 4202 ('trunks, suit-cases… travelling-bags and similar containers'); the outer surface is predominantly cotton textile, fitting 4202.92.90.00 'with outer surface of sheeting of plastics or of textile materials: Other'.

2. 2.6307.90.00.00Alternative, no score

   6307.90.00.00 'Other made up articles' under heading 6307 could apply if the bag were excluded from 4202, but the description clearly fits 4202 as a travel/personal-effects bag, making 6307 a residual fallback only.

3. 3.4202.92.10.00Alternative, no score

   4202.92.10.00 is the same heading/subheading but for CKD/unassembled goods; the bag is presented assembled, so 4202.92.90.00 is correct and 4202.92.10.00 is a weak alternative only if assembly status were in question.

US Customs gave 4202.92. First suggestion matches.

Goods description

The Matte White Transfer film is a white pigmented metallized PET sheet with scuff-resistant coating.

Leads, not suggestions

1. 1.3920.62.00.00Lead only

   The goods are described as metallized polyethylene terephthalate (PET) sheets; 3920.62.00.00 covers non-cellular plates/sheets/film of poly(ethylene terephthalate), matching the base material directly. If the coatings are considered integral to the PET film rather than a separate laminate, this is the correct heading.

2. 2.3921.90.10.00Lead only

   If the acrylic release coating and metallic layer mean the film is 'combined with other materials', it would fall outside 3920 and into 3921.90.10.00 (other plates/sheets of plastics, not printed); 3921.90.10.00 covers that residual category for unprinted combined plastic sheets.

3. 3.3921.90.20.00Lead only

   3921.90.20.00 (3921.90.20.00) covers printed other plastic sheets; the holographic transfer film has a holographic pattern that could be considered a printed/decorated surface, making this a weak alternative for that specific variant only.

US Customs gave 3920.62. The first lead matches.

Goods description

The panels are continuously shaped with tongue and groove along their edges and ends, and they are coated with aluminum oxide.

Leads, not suggestions

1. 1.4409.22.00.00Lead only

   4409.22.00.00 (4409.22.00.00) covers non-coniferous tropical wood continuously shaped (tongue and groove) along edges/ends, not assembled; the description states solid tropical wood panels (Cumaru, Jatoba, etc.) that are 'continuously shaped with tongue and groove', matching 'strips and friezes for parquet flooring, not assembled' of tropical wood.

2. 2.4418.79.00.00Lead only

   4418.79.00.00 (4418.79.00.00) covers 'Other' assembled flooring panels under builders' joinery; if the panels are considered assembled flooring panels rather than individual profiled strips, this residual subheading would apply.

3. 3.4418.99.00.00Lead only

   4418.99.00.00 (4418.99.00.00) is the residual 'Other' line under builders' joinery and carpentry of wood; it could apply if the goods do not fit the assembled flooring panel subheadings, but it is a weaker fit than the more specific candidates.

US Customs gave 4418.99. The third lead matches.

Goods description

Irbesartan Tablets in dosage form,. Irbesartan, imported in 75 mg, 150 mg, and 300 mg tablets, is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It is indicated for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure).

1. 1.3004.90.90.00score 91%

   Irbesartan tablets are a medicament in dosage form (75 mg, 150 mg, 300 mg tablets) for treatment of hypertension; 3004.90.90.00 covers medicaments consisting of mixed or unmixed products for therapeutic use, put up in measured doses, 'other … other', which is the correct residual line for a pharmaceutical not covered by a more specific subheading. The active ingredient is not a hormone, antibiotic, or alkaloid, so the 'other' line applies.

2. 2.3004.90.20.00Alternative, no score

   3004.90.20.00 covers only Oral Rehydration Salt (ORS) under the same heading; Irbesartan is not an ORS product, so this is not a match and is listed only to show it was considered.

US Customs gave 3004.90. First suggestion matches.

Goods description

a tool set. The item under consideration is described as a 22-piece precision screwdriver and bit set which will be imported in a molded case ready for retail sale.

Leads, not suggestions

1. 1.8206.00.00.00Lead only

2. 2.8205.40.00.00Lead only

   8205.40.00.00 covers 'screwdrivers' under heading 82.05; the set is predominantly screwdriver bits and a ratchet handle, so if not classified as a set under 82.06, the screwdriver character could point here, but 82.06 (8206.00.00.00) is the better fit.

US Customs gave 8466.10. None of the leads match.

Goods description

Di(2-propylheptyl) phthalate (DPHP) (CAS No. 53306-54-0) from multiple countries. The subject product, Di(2-propylheptyl) phthalate (DPHP) (CAS No. 53306-54-0), is greater than 99 percent pure, with the remainder consisting of impurities, as indicated in a follow-up email. You further indicated that DPHP will be imported in bulk form from various countries, including China, Germany, India, South Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan, for use as a plasticizer in polyvinyl chloride.

Leads, not suggestions

1. 1.2917.34.00.00Lead only

   DPHP is confirmed by the Customs Laboratory to be an ester of orthophthalic acid; 2917.34.00.00 (2917.34) covers 'other esters of orthophthalic acid' under aromatic polycarboxylic acids, which directly matches the chemical identity of DPHP.

2. 2.2917.33.00.00Lead only

   2917.33.00.00 (2917.33) covers 'dinonyl or didecyl orthophthalates'; the laboratory states DPHP is an isomer of didecyl orthophthalate, but DPHP is a distinct compound (di-2-propylheptyl, not didecyl), so 2917.34 is more precise.

US Customs gave 2917.33. The second lead matches.

Goods description

a position sensor PCBA. The merchandise under consideration is described as a Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) that will be incorporated within a rotary position sensor. The subject PCBA consists of a rotation sensor Integrated Circuit (IC) mounted onto a board along with various other passive components. The sensor IC functions on the Hall-Effect principal as it creates a magnetic field that, when broken by the presence of a metal object (i.e. gear component), creates an electrical signal that is sent to a control unit for interpretation.

1. 1.8543.70.00.00score 63%

   8543.70.00.00 covers electrical machines/apparatus with individual functions not elsewhere specified; the PCBA functions as a transducer/position sensor, which could qualify if not more specifically classified as a printed circuit, but 8534 is more specific.

2. 2.8534.00.00.00Alternative, no score

   8534.00.00.00 covers 'printed circuits' under heading 85.34; the goods are explicitly described as a Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA), and 'printed circuit' in the tariff text directly matches 'PCBA' in the description.

3. 3.8542.39.00.00Alternative, no score

   8542.39.00.00 covers other electronic integrated circuits; the Hall-effect sensor IC on the board is an integrated circuit, but the goods are the complete PCBA assembly, not just the IC chip itself.

US Customs gave 8543.70. First suggestion matches.

Goods description

Leads, not suggestions

1. 1.6211.32.00.00Lead only

   6211.32 covers 'other garments, men's or boys', of cotton'; cotton is the predominant fibre (56%), but again 6211 applies to woven/non-knitted garments, not knit fabric garments.

2. 2.6211.39.00.00Lead only

   6211.39 covers 'other garments, men's or boys', of other textile materials'; the fabric is a cotton/polyester/elastane blend which could fall under 'other textile materials', but 6211 is for non-knitted garments and this garment is knitted, making this a weak fit.

US Customs gave 6105.10. None of the leads match.

Goods description

two stainless steel pan head screws. The first article is described as an M2.5 - .95 × 8 Pan head, Torx T-8, Black Screw.

The second article is described as an M3 - 1.34 × 8 Pan head, Torx, Thread Forming, Black Screw.

1. 1.7318.15.00.00score 62%

   7318.15.00.00 covers 'other screws and bolts' of iron or steel (threaded articles); the items are fully threaded stainless steel pan head screws, directly matching 'other screws and bolts' under the threaded articles subheading of heading 7318.

2. 2.7318.14.00.00Alternative, no score

   7318.14.00.00 covers 'self-tapping screws' of iron or steel; the screws are described as 'thread forming' which is a type of self-tapping screw, so this is a plausible alternative that the agent should consider.

3. 3.7318.19.00.00Alternative, no score

   7318.19.00.00 is the residual 'other' threaded articles subheading; it would only apply if the screws do not fit 7318.14 or 7318.15, making it a fallback.

US Customs gave 7318.15. First suggestion matches.

Goods description

a folding paperboard box. The product under consideration is a folding solid bleached sulfate paperboard box. The box measures approximately 124mm x 27mm x 39mm and assembles by a glued tab along one long side.

1. 1.4819.20.90.00score 63%

   The item is a folding solid bleached sulfate paperboard box assembled by a glued tab; 4819.20.90.00 covers 'folding cartons, boxes and cases, of non-corrugated paper or paperboard - Other', which precisely matches a folding non-corrugated paperboard box.

2. 2.4819.20.10.00Alternative, no score

   4819.20.10.00 also covers folding cartons of non-corrugated paperboard but specifically those lined with polypropylene film; there is no indication of polypropylene lining, so this is a weak alternative.

US Customs gave 4819.20. First suggestion matches.

Goods description
