HS Code 590800

HS code 590800 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Textile wicks, woven, plaited or knitted, for lamps, stoves, lighters, candles or the like; incandescent gas mantles and tubular knitted gasmantle fabric therefor, whether or not impregnated". The first two digits (59) are the chapter — Impregnated, coated, covered or laminated textile fabrics — and digits 3-4 (5908) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 590800 include lamp wick, candle wick, stove wick, gas mantle, incandescent mantle, wick material and similar items matching textile wicks. 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 (590800) 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.
