Questions
HS code 151221: common questions
What is HS code 151221?
HS code 151221 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Sunflowerseed, safflower or cottonseed oil and fractions thereof, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified : Cottonseed oil and its fractions : Crude oil, whether or not gossypol has been removed". The first two digits (15) are the chapter — Animal, vegetable or microbial fats and oils and their cleavage products — and digits 3-4 (1512) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 151221?
Common products classified under 151221 include crude cottonseed oil and similar items matching crude oil. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 151221?
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 151221 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (151221) 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.
