Questions
HS code 220600: common questions
What is HS code 220600?
HS code 220600 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Other fermented beverages (for example, cider, perry, mead, saké); mixtures of fermented beverages and mixtures of fermented beverages and nonalcoholic beverages, not elsewhere specified or included". The first two digits (22) are the chapter — Beverages, spirits and vinegar — and digits 3-4 (2206) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 220600?
Common products classified under 220600 include cider, perry, mead, sake, hard cider, fermented fruit beverage and similar items matching other fermented beverages. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 220600?
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 220600 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (220600) 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.
