What determines the tariff number?
- Intended use. Nozzles for toilet/cosmetic purposes (atomisers) are classified differently from industrial machine nozzles or apparatus components. The primary application determines the correct HS code under Swiss customs rules.
- Material and construction. The material composition and mechanical complexity influence tariff classification. A simple plastic nozzle is tariffed differently from a precision-engineered or precious-metal nozzle.
- Machine component status. Is the nozzle an independent product or an auxiliary part of a textile machine, reactor, or industrial apparatus? This distinction materially affects the customs tariff number assigned.
Permits & requirements
