Questions
HS code 090230: common questions
What is HS code 090230?
HS code 090230 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Tea, whether or not flavoured : Black tea (fermented) and partly fermented tea, in immediate packings of a content not exceeding 3 kg". The first two digits (09) are the chapter — Coffee, tea, maté and spices — and digits 3-4 (0902) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 090230?
Common products classified under 090230 include black tea bags, packaged black tea, oolong tea bags, partly fermented tea, black tea and similar items matching black tea. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 090230?
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 090230 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (090230) 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.
