What determines the tariff number?
- Material and substrate. Self-adhesive stickers made from paper or cardboard are classified differently from those based on textiles or other materials. The base material determines the primary tariff position.
- Printing and finish. Printed labels and stickers have different HS code classifications than unprinted versions. The surface treatment and decoration type influence your exact customs tariff number.
- Format and cutting. Stickers supplied in sheets, rolls, or pre-cut forms may fall under different classifications. The product format is a key factor in determining the correct HS code for your shipment.
