What determines the tariff number?
- Fibre material. USB-C cables are typically made from synthetic short fibres. The material type – nylon, polyamide, polyester, polyacryl, or polypropylene – significantly influences classification and results in different tariff numbers.
- Filament type. Classification distinguishes between filaments made from nylon or other polyamides and artificial filaments such as cellulose acetate. This distinction is a key factor in determining the correct customs tariff number.
- Construction characteristics. The precise composition and structure of the cable – particularly whether it contains specialised polyamide variants – determines the final HS code in detail.
