What is HS code 021091?
HS code 021091 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 : Other, including edible flours and meals of meat or meat offal : Of primates". 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 021091?
Common products classified under 021091 include dried primate meat, smoked monkey meat, primate jerky, primate meat flour and similar items matching of primates. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 021091?
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 021091 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (021091) 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.
Is HSN code 021091 the same as HS code 021091?
Yes at the 6-digit level. India's HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) uses the same WCO base, so HSN 021091 covers the same "of primates" scope; India then extends it to 8 digits for GST and customs. Check the Indian Customs tariff (CBIC) for the full national line.
