Bottle cap Hs Code

Bottle cap harmonized system code

Product Overview Bottle caps classified under HS Code 830990 are fastening components primarily composed of metal alloys or durable polymers, designed to securely seal bottles across various industries. These caps exhibit precise dimensional tolerances, typically ranging in diameter from 26mm to 38mm, with thread finishes conforming to standardized specifications such as ISO 228 or 7/8"-14 UNS. Manufactured through stamping, injection molding, or machining processes, they incorporate features including sealing liners, tamper-evident bands, and corrosion-resistant coatings to ensure product integrity. Within HS Code 830990, subcategories encompass metal bottle caps, polymer screw caps, and composite closures, each differentiated by material composition and functional design. Commercially, these caps are integral to food and beverage packaging, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemical containers, facilitating product preservation, contamination prevention, and compliance with safety regulations. Their robust construction and compatibility with automated capping machinery position them competitively in global supply chains, meeting the stringent demands of import/export operations and end-user industries. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The HS Code 830990 falls under Chapter 83 (Miscellaneous Articles of Base Metal), Heading 8309 (Stoppers, Caps and Lids, Capsules for Bottles, Cans, Jars or Other Containers), with the subheading 830990 specifically denoting other stoppers, caps, and lids not elsewhere specified. This classification is justified by the product’s function as a closure device fabricated predominantly from base metals or their alloys, consistent with WTO Harmonized System nomenclature. Trade considerations include packaging in bulk quantities, often palletized with protective interleaving to prevent deformation during transit. Preservation methods involve anti-corrosive treatments and humidity-controlled storage to maintain material integrity. Shipping protocols adhere to international standards, ensuring secure containment to avoid contamination or damage. Quality standards encompass ISO 9001 certification for manufacturing processes, compliance with FDA or EFSA regulations for food-contact materials, and adherence to ASTM or DIN material specifications. This structured classification and comprehensive trade detailing facilitate accurate customs clearance, tariff determination, and regulatory compliance in international commerce.

Bottle cap Chapter Note

1.- For the purposes of this Chapter, parts of base metal are to be classified with their parent articles. However, articles of iron or steel of heading 73.12, 73.15, 73.17, 73.18 or 73.20, or similar articles of other base metal (Chapters 74 to 76 and 78 to 81) are not to be taken as parts of articles of this Chapter. 2.- For the purposes of heading 83.02, the word “castors” means those having a diameter (including, where appropriate, tyres) not exceeding 75 mm, or those having a diameter (including, where appropriate, tyres) exceeding 75 mm provided that the width of the wheel or tyre fitted thereto is less than 30 mm.
