Questions
HS code 020421: common questions
What is HS code 020421?
HS code 020421 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Meat of sheep or goats, fresh, chilled or frozen : Other meat of sheep, fresh or chilled : Carcases and halfcarcases". The first two digits (02) are the chapter — Meat and edible meat offal — and digits 3-4 (0204) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 020421?
Common products classified under 020421 include fresh mutton carcass, fresh sheep halves, fresh hogget and similar items matching carcases and halfcarcases. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 020421?
Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.
Is HS code 020421 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (020421) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.
Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?
Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
