HS Code 381800

HS code 381800 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Chemical elements doped for use in electronics, in the form of discs, wafers or similar forms; chemical compounds doped for use in electronics". The first two digits (38) are the chapter — Miscellaneous chemical products — and digits 3-4 (3818) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 381800 include doped silicon, doped wafer, semiconductor substrate, doped crystal, electronic grade doped material and similar items matching chemical elements doped for use in electronics. 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 (381800) 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.
