Questions
HS code 690390: common questions
What is HS code 690390?
HS code 690390 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Other refractory ceramic goods (for example, retorts, crucibles, muffles, nozzles, plugs, supports, cupels, tubes, pipes, sheaths and rods), other than those of siliceous fossil meals or of similar siliceous earths : Other". The first two digits (69) are the chapter — Ceramic products — and digits 3-4 (6903) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 690390?
Common products classified under 690390 include other refractory ceramics, refractory tubes, refractory crucibles, refractory muffles, refractory supports and similar items matching other refractory ceramic goods. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 690390?
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 690390 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (690390) 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.
