Questions
HS code 250100: common questions
What is HS code 250100?
HS code 250100 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Salt (including table salt and denatured salt) and pure sodium chloride, whether or not in aqueous solution or containing added anticaking or freeflowing agents; sea water". The first two digits (25) are the chapter — Salt; sulphur; earths and stone; plastering materials, lime and cement — and digits 3-4 (2501) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 250100?
Common products classified under 250100 include salt, table salt, sea salt, sodium chloride and similar items matching salt. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 250100?
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 250100 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (250100) 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.
