Questions
HS code 152110: common questions
What is HS code 152110?
HS code 152110 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Vegetable waxes (other than triglycerides), beeswax, other insect waxes and spermaceti, whether or not refined or coloured : Vegetable waxes". The first two digits (15) are the chapter — Animal, vegetable or microbial fats and oils and their cleavage products — and digits 3-4 (1521) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 152110?
Common products classified under 152110 include vegetable wax, carnauba wax, candelilla wax, soy wax, palm wax and similar items matching vegetable waxes. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 152110?
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 152110 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (152110) 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.
