Questions
HS code 230610: common questions
What is HS code 230610?
HS code 230610 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Oilcake and other solid residues, whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of vegetable fats or oils, other than those of heading 2304 or 2305 : Of cotton seeds". The first two digits (23) are the chapter — Residues and waste from the food industries; prepared animal fodder — and digits 3-4 (2306) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 230610?
Common products classified under 230610 include cottonseed meal, cottonseed cake, cottonseed oilcake, cottonseed residue and similar items matching of cotton seeds. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 230610?
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 230610 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (230610) 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.
