HS Code 340510

HS code 340510 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Polishes and creams, for footwear, furniture, floors, coachwork, glass or metal, scouring pastes and powders and similar preparations (whether or not in the form of paper, wadding, felt, nonwovens, cellular plastics or cellular rubber, impregnated, coated or covered with such preparations), excluding waxes of heading 3404 : Polishes, creams and similar preparations, for footwear or leather". The first two digits (34) are the chapter — Soap, washing preparations, lubricants, waxes, candles, modelling pastes — and digits 3-4 (3405) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 340510 include shoe polish, leather cream, shoe cream, boot polish, leather conditioner and similar items matching polishes. 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 (340510) 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.
