Questions
HS code 100840: common questions
What is HS code 100840?
HS code 100840 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Buckwheat, millet and canary seed; other cereals : Fonio (Digitaria spp.)". The first two digits (10) are the chapter — Cereals — and digits 3-4 (1008) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 100840?
Common products classified under 100840 include fonio, hungry rice, acha and similar items matching fonio. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 100840?
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 100840 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (100840) 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.
