Questions
HS code 350520: common questions
What is HS code 350520?
HS code 350520 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Dextrins and other modified starches (for example, pregelatinised or esterified starches); glues based on starches, or on dextrins or other modified starches : Glues". The first two digits (35) are the chapter — Albuminoidal substances; modified starches; glues; enzymes — and digits 3-4 (3505) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 350520?
Common products classified under 350520 include starch glue, dextrin glue, paper glue, envelope glue, gum adhesive and similar items matching glues. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 350520?
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 350520 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (350520) 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.
