Questions

HS code 170219: common questions

What is HS code 170219?

HS code 170219 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Other sugars, including chemically pure lactose, maltose, glucose and fructose, in solid form; sugar syrups not containing added flavouring or colouring matter; artificial honey, whether or not mixed with natural honey; caramel : Lactose and lactose syrup : Other". The first two digits (17) are the chapter — Sugars and sugar confectionery — and digits 3-4 (1702) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

What products fall under HS 170219?

Common products classified under 170219 include lactose syrup, low-purity lactose, lactose solution and similar items matching lactose and lactose syrup. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

How do I find the import duty for HS code 170219?

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 170219 the same in every country?

The first 6 digits (170219) 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.
