What is HS code 681140?
HS code 681140 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Articles of asbestoscement, of cellulose fibrecement or the like : Containing asbestos". The first two digits (68) are the chapter — Articles of stone, plaster, cement, asbestos, mica or similar materials — and digits 3-4 (6811) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 681140?
Common products classified under 681140 include asbestos cement sheet, asbestos tile, asbestos pipe, transite and similar items matching containing asbestos. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 681140?
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 681140 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (681140) 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.
