HS Code 320810

HS code 320810 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Paints and varnishes (including enamels and lacquers) based on synthetic polymers or chemically modified natural polymers, dispersed or dissolved in a nonaqueous medium; solutions as defined in note 4 to this chapter : Based on polyesters". The first two digits (32) are the chapter — Tanning or dyeing extracts; dyes, pigments, paints, varnishes — and digits 3-4 (3208) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 320810 include polyester paint, polyester varnish, polyester enamel, polyester lacquer and similar items matching based on polyesters. 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 (320810) 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.
