HS classification for Pacifier

By

When Pacifier is made of plastic,it goes “Other articles of plastics” but
When Pacifier is made of rubber, it goes “Hygienic articles” not “Other articles of rubber”

EN to 3926(11), the item is called “Pacifiers” (or“baby’s dummies”) but
EN to 4014,the item is called “Teats”.

Searching HS code by just typing the keyword “Pacifiers” may lead in the wrong direction.
This is an excellent example that we shouldn’t search HS code just by keyword.

Step stool

By

Classifying a Step stool is challenging.
①German customs(EU) classified it in 9403.70 as “Furniture”
➁U.S. customs(CBP) classified it in 3924.90 as “Household articles of plastics”

BTI is here

US CROSS ruling is here

https://lnkd.in/gZDdQYXM

The reason why CBP classified it in 3924.90 is below.
————————-
The stools are designed to elevate a standing person in order to reach something or perform a task at a greater height.

The one-step step stool is more akin to a rung of a ladder in its utilitarian function.

Therefore, the one-step step stool is not properly classified in either Heading 9403
————————-
CBP’s interpretation is that stool is the kind of “Ladder” but German customs did not think so.

 

And here is also other pattern of classification by Japan customs.

Japan customs classified it in 3926.90 due to EN to 9403 exclusion.
(b) Ladders and steps, trestles, carpenters’ benches and the like not having the character of furniture; these are classified according to their constituent material (headings 44.21, 73.26, etc.).

 

This is a good example of the same kind of product having different HS codes depending on opinions from a different country Ladder or furniture.
