Questions
HS code 382312: common questions

HS code 382312 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids; acid oils from refining; industrial fatty alcohols : Industrial monocarboxylic fatty acids; acid oils from refining : Oleic acid". The first two digits (38) are the chapter — Miscellaneous chemical products — and digits 3-4 (3823) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 382312?
Common products classified under 382312 include oleic acid, cis-9-octadecenoic acid, oleate and similar items matching oleic acid. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 382312?
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 382312 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (382312) 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.
