Questions
HS code 130220: common questions
What is HS code 130220?
HS code 130220 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Vegetable saps and extracts; pectic substances, pectinates and pectates; agaragar and other mucilages and thickeners, whether or not modified, derived from vegetable products : Pectic substances, pectinates and pectates". The first two digits (13) are the chapter — Lac; gums, resins and other vegetable saps and extracts — and digits 3-4 (1302) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 130220?
Common products classified under 130220 include pectin, pectinates, pectates, fruit pectin and similar items matching pectic substances. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 130220?
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 130220 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (130220) 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.
