Questions
HS code 731300: common questions
What is HS code 731300?
HS code 731300 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Barbed wire of iron or steel; twisted hoop or single flat wire, barbed or not, and loosely twisted double wire, of a kind used for fencing, of iron or steel". The first two digits (73) are the chapter — Articles of iron or steel — and digits 3-4 (7313) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 731300?
Common products classified under 731300 include barbed wire, fencing wire, razor wire, concertina wire, cattle wire, wire fence and similar items matching barbed wire of iron or steel. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 731300?
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 731300 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (731300) 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.
