Questions
HS code 700231: common questions
What is HS code 700231?
HS code 700231 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Glass in balls (other than microspheres of heading 7018), rods or tubes, unworked : Tubes : Of fused quartz or other fused silica". The first two digits (70) are the chapter — Glass and glassware — and digits 3-4 (7002) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 700231?
Common products classified under 700231 include quartz glass tubes, fused silica tubes, quartz tubing, fused quartz tubes and similar items matching of fused quartz or other fused silica. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 700231?
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 700231 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (700231) 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.
