Questions
HS code 321210: common questions
What is HS code 321210?
HS code 321210 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Pigments (including metallic powders and flakes) dispersed in nonaqueous media, in liquid or paste form, of a kind used in the manufacture of paints (including enamels); stamping foils; dyes and other colouring matter put up in forms or packings for retail sale : Stamping foils". The first two digits (32) are the chapter — Tanning or dyeing extracts; dyes, pigments, paints, varnishes — and digits 3-4 (3212) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 321210?
Common products classified under 321210 include stamping foil, hot stamping foil, foil stamp, transfer foil and similar items matching stamping foils. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 321210?
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 321210 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (321210) 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.
