Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 7319 when importing items like sewing needles, safety pins, or crochet hooks made of iron or steel. For example, if you are shipping a bulk order of safety pins for a clothing manufacturer, this code applies.
When deciding between HS-6 731940 for safety pins and HS-6 731990 for other hand-held sewing tools, consider the primary function of the item. If it’s a safety pin, go with 731940; if it’s a crochet hook or similar tool, choose 731990.
