What determines the tariff number?
- Material and composition. Leather belts, textile belts, and plastic belts are classified differently. The base material determines the primary goods category and is the first classification criterion.
- Reinforcement and construction. Belts with metal reinforcement, textile reinforcement, or no reinforcement follow different tariff codes. The type of buckle or fastening mechanism may also influence classification.
- Intended use. Fashion belts, functional textiles, and safety work belts are classified separately. The intended application shapes the goods description and thus the HS code.
- Weight and dimensions. For certain belt types, width, length, and circumference matter for correct classification. These measurements must be precisely documented.
