Questions
HS code 821110: common questions
What is HS code 821110?
HS code 821110 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Knives with cutting blades, serrated or not (including pruning knives), other than knives of heading 8208, and blades therefor : Sets of assorted articles". The first two digits (82) are the chapter — Tools, implements, cutlery, spoons and forks, of base metal — and digits 3-4 (8211) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 821110?
Common products classified under 821110 include knife sets, kitchen knife sets, cutlery sets, steak knife sets, chef knife sets and similar items matching sets of assorted articles. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 821110?
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 821110 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (821110) 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.
