HS Code 380859

HS code 380859 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, antisprouting products and plantgrowth regulators, disinfectants and similar products, put up in forms or packings for retail sale or as preparations or articles (for example, sulphurtreated bands, wicks and candles, and flypapers) : Goods specified in subheading note 1 to this chapter : Other". The first two digits (38) are the chapter — Miscellaneous chemical products — and digits 3-4 (3808) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 380859 include pesticide, insecticide, rodenticide, fungicide, herbicide, disinfectant and similar items matching goods specified in subheading note 1 to this chapter. 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 (380859) 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.
