Questions
HS code 050590: common questions
What is HS code 050590?
HS code 050590 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Skins and other parts of birds, with their feathers or down, feathers and parts of feathers (whether or not with trimmed edges) and down, not further worked than cleaned, disinfected or treated for preservation; powder and waste of feathers or parts of feathers : Other". The first two digits (05) are the chapter — Products of animal origin, not elsewhere specified — and digits 3-4 (0505) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 050590?
Common products classified under 050590 include bird feathers, craft feathers, ostrich feathers, feather boas and similar items matching skins and other parts of birds. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 050590?
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 050590 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (050590) 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.
