China origin · HTS candidates
Vacuum flask import duty from China
Find US HTS candidates for vacuum flasks and insulated bottles from China, then run a landed-duty estimate.
Quick answer
9617.00.10.00
At a $10,000 customs value, the current China-origin total rate is about 7.2% ($720).
Classification risk & HTS split
Vacuum flasks classify under HTS 9617.00.10 (vacuum vessels not exceeding 1 liter — 7.2% MFN) or 9617.00.60 (vacuum vessels exceeding 1 liter — 6.9%), based on capacity. The vessel must be a true double-walled vacuum-insulated construction; single-walled insulated bottles go to other chapters (e.g. 3924 plastic, 7323 base-metal household). Food-contact testing under FDA 21 CFR §177 applies to interior liner materials regardless of HTS.

This page provides candidates and reference math, not a CBP ruling. CBP makes the binding classification and duty determination at entry; AD/CVD, exclusions, and product facts still need separate review.

FAQ
How do I find the US HTS code for vacuum flask from China?
Start from the product name or local HS code, anchor on HS6, then compare US HTS candidate descriptions. Vacuum flask can split after HS6 by material, use, construction, or function; the applicable Chapter 99 overlays differ between China and China origins.
Does China origin trigger Section 301?
Yes. Section 301 (9903.88.x) stacks on top of MFN for China-origin goods; the active subheading list is maintained by USTR.
