Questions
HS code 530121: common questions
What is HS code 530121?
HS code 530121 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Flax, raw or processed but not spun; flax tow and waste (including yarn waste and garnetted stock) : Flax, broken, scutched, hackled or otherwise processed, but not spun : Broken or scutched". The first two digits (53) are the chapter — Other vegetable textile fibres; paper yarn — and digits 3-4 (5301) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 530121?
Common products classified under 530121 include broken flax, scutched flax, flax tow and similar items matching broken or scutched. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 530121?
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 530121 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (530121) 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.
