Questions

HS code 300610: common questions

What is HS code 300610?

HS code 300610 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Pharmaceutical goods specified in note 4 to this chapter : Sterile surgical catgut, similar sterile suture materials (including sterile absorbable surgical or dental yarns) and sterile tissue adhesives for surgical wound closure; sterile laminaria and sterile laminaria tents; sterile absorbable surgical or dental haemostatics; sterile surgical or dental adhesion barriers, whether or not absorbable". The first two digits (30) are the chapter — Pharmaceutical products — and digits 3-4 (3006) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

What products fall under HS 300610?

Common products classified under 300610 include surgical sutures, catgut, stitches, absorbable sutures, surgical thread and similar items matching sterile surgical catgut. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

How do I find the import duty for HS code 300610?

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 300610 the same in every country?

The first 6 digits (300610) 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.
