HS Code 270300

HS code 270300 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Peat (including peat litter), whether or not agglomerated". The first two digits (27) are the chapter — Mineral fuels, mineral oils and products of their distillation — and digits 3-4 (2703) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 270300 include peat, peat litter, peat moss, agglomerated peat and similar items matching peat. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

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.

The first 6 digits (270300) 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.

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.
