Chapter 96 classification notes

A catch-all chapter for manufactured articles not elsewhere classified. Generally low duty rates (0-8%). Cigarette lighters face child-safety standards (ISO 9994) and import restrictions in some markets.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Many 'miscellaneous' items actually have specific chapters — brushes (Chapter 96 heading 9603) vs cosmetic applicators (some in Ch. 96, some in Ch. 33). Check specific headings carefully.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
