Questions
HS code 901380: common questions
What is HS code 901380?
HS code 901380 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Liquid crystal devices not constituting articles provided for more specifically in other headings; lasers, other than laser diodes; other optical appliances and instruments, not specified or included elsewhere in this chapter : Other devices, appliances and instruments". The first two digits (90) are the chapter — Optical, photographic, measuring, medical or surgical instruments — and digits 3-4 (9013) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 901380?
Common products classified under 901380 include optical instruments, liquid crystal devices, optical appliances and similar items matching other devices. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 901380?
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 901380 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (901380) 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.
