Questions
HS code 252321: common questions
What is HS code 252321?
HS code 252321 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Portland cement, aluminous cement, slag cement, supersulphate cement and similar hydraulic cements, whether or not coloured or in the form of clinkers : Portland cement : White cement, whether or not artificially coloured". The first two digits (25) are the chapter — Salt; sulphur; earths and stone; plastering materials, lime and cement — and digits 3-4 (2523) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 252321?
Common products classified under 252321 include white cement, white portland cement, white masonry cement and similar items matching white cement. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 252321?
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 252321 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (252321) 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.
