HS Code 960340

HS code 960340 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Brooms, brushes (including brushes constituting parts of machines, appliances or vehicles), handoperated mechanical floor sweepers, not motorised, mops and feather dusters; prepared knots and tufts for broom or brush making; paint pads and rollers; squeegees (other than roller squeegees) : Paint, distemper, varnish or similar brushes (other than brushes of subheading 960330); paint pads and rollers". The first two digits (96) are the chapter — Miscellaneous manufactured articles — and digits 3-4 (9603) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 960340 include paint brushes, paint rollers, paint pads, varnish brushes, wall painting tools, paint applicators and similar items matching paint. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

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.

The first 6 digits (960340) 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.

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.
