Questions
HS code 680520: common questions
What is HS code 680520?
HS code 680520 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Natural or artificial abrasive powder or grain, on a base of textile material, of paper, of paperboard or of other materials, whether or not cut to shape or sewn or otherwise made up : On a base of paper or paperboard only". The first two digits (68) are the chapter — Articles of stone, plaster, cement, asbestos, mica or similar materials — and digits 3-4 (6805) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 680520?
Common products classified under 680520 include sandpaper, abrasive paper, wet and dry paper and similar items matching on a base of paper or paperboard only. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 680520?
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 680520 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (680520) 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.
