What is HS code 320650?
HS code 320650 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Other colouring matter; preparations as specified in note 3 to this chapter, other than those of heading 3203, 3204 or 3205; inorganic products of a kind used as luminophores, whether or not chemically defined : Inorganic products of a kind used as luminophores". The first two digits (32) are the chapter — Tanning or dyeing extracts; dyes, pigments, paints, varnishes — and digits 3-4 (3206) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 320650?
Common products classified under 320650 include luminophores, phosphors, inorganic phosphors, luminescent pigments and similar items matching inorganic products of a kind used as luminophores. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 320650?
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 320650 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (320650) 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.
Is HSN code 320650 the same as HS code 320650?
Yes at the 6-digit level. India's HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) uses the same WCO base, so HSN 320650 covers the same "inorganic products of a kind used as luminophores" scope; India then extends it to 8 digits for GST and customs. Check the Indian Customs tariff (CBIC) for the full national line.
