Questions
HS code 070960: common questions
What is HS code 070960?
HS code 070960 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Other vegetables, fresh or chilled : Fruits of the genus Capsicum or of the genus Pimenta". The first two digits (07) are the chapter — Edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers — and digits 3-4 (0709) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 070960?
Common products classified under 070960 include bell peppers, sweet peppers, chili peppers, hot peppers, capsicum and similar items matching fruits of the genus capsicum or of the genus pimenta. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 070960?
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 070960 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (070960) 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.
