Questions
HS code 021020: common questions
What is HS code 021020?
HS code 021020 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Meat and edible meat offal, salted, in brine, dried or smoked; edible flours and meals of meat or meat offal : Meat of bovine animals". The first two digits (02) are the chapter — Meat and edible meat offal — and digits 3-4 (0210) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 021020?
Common products classified under 021020 include cured beef, corned beef, pastrami, dried beef, beef jerky, beef prosciutto and similar items matching meat of bovine animals. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 021020?
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 021020 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (021020) 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.
