Questions
HS code 071430: common questions
What is HS code 071430?
HS code 071430 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Manioc, arrowroot, salep, Jerusalem artichokes, sweet potatoes and similar roots and tubers with high starch or inulin content, fresh, chilled, frozen or dried, whether or not sliced or in the form of pellets; sago pith : Yams (Dioscorea spp.)". The first two digits (07) are the chapter — Edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers — and digits 3-4 (0714) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 071430?
Common products classified under 071430 include yams, true yams, Dioscorea yams and similar items matching yams. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 071430?
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 071430 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (071430) 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.
