HS Code for Crochet hooks

Crochet hooks made of iron or steel are classified under HS code 7319.90. Chapter 73 of the Harmonized System covers articles of iron or steel. Heading 7319 specifically includes sewing needles, knitting needles, bodkins, crochet hooks, embroidery stilettos, and similar articles for use in the hand. The subheading 7319.90 is a residual category for items within this heading that are not sewing needles (7319.40) or safety pins. The classification is determined by the material composition and the function of the tool. These hooks are designed for manual textile work and are characterized by a notched end used to pull loops of yarn through other loops. If the crochet hook is made of a different material, such as aluminum, plastic, or wood, it must be classified according to its constituent material in their respective chapters (e.g., Chapter 76 for aluminum or Chapter 39 for plastics).

Common Misclassification

The most frequent misclassification occurs when the material is not iron or steel. Aluminum crochet hooks are often incorrectly placed in 7319.90, but they should be classified under HS code 7616.99. Similarly, plastic crochet hooks belong under HS code 3926.90. Another error is classifying them under 8205 as general hand tools; however, heading 7319 is more specific for textile-related hand needles and hooks.
