Needle harmonized system code

Product Overview A Needle falling under HS Code 7319 is a metallic, sharp-pointed instrument, primarily used for stitching or perforating materials. These needles are manufactured with a high degree of precision, often made from stainless steel, and come in a variety of sizes and shapes to cater to various industrial needs. The product subcategories within the HS Code 7319 encompass different types of needles such as sewing needles, knitting needles, and needles for sutures, tubular metal needles, and needles for hand sewing. These needles have a vast array of commercial applications, extending from the textile industry for garment production to medical industries for surgical procedures. The value proposition of these needles lies in their quality, precision, and versatility. Their competitive advantage is their wide-ranging adaptability, catering to multiple sectors while maintaining high-quality standards. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The Needle falls under the complete six-digit HS Code 7319.20, with a hierarchical breakdown as follows: Chapter 73 (Articles of Iron or Steel), Heading 19 (Sewing needles, knitting needles, bodkins, crochet hooks, embroidery stilettos, and similar articles, for use in the hand, of iron or steel; safety pins and other pins, of iron or steel, not elsewhere specified or included). The classification rationale is based on the product's material composition (Iron or Steel) and its primary use (for hand sewing or knitting). Trade considerations include the packaging of needles in secure, protective materials to prevent damage and ensure safety during transportation. The needles are often preserved in corrosion-resistant packaging for longevity. Quality standards include precise dimensions, sharpness, and resistance to corrosion. These needles adhere to international safety and quality standards, making them ideal for global trade. Their robustness and high quality make them suitable for a variety of applications, adding to their trade value.
