Questions
HS code 831130: common questions
What is HS code 831130?
HS code 831130 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Wire, rods, tubes, plates, electrodes and similar products, of base metal or of metal carbides, coated or cored with flux material, of a kind used for soldering, brazing, welding or deposition of metal or of metal carbides; wire and rods, of agglomerated base metal powder, used for metal spraying : Coated rods and cored wire, of base metal, for soldering, brazing or welding by flame". The first two digits (83) are the chapter — Miscellaneous articles of base metal — and digits 3-4 (8311) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 831130?
Common products classified under 831130 include brazing rods, soldering rods, flux-coated rods, flame welding rods and similar items matching coated rods and cored wire. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 831130?
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 831130 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (831130) 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.
