Questions

HS code 990100: common questions

What is HS code 990100?

HS code 990100 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Ethyl alcohol (provided for in subheadings 2207.10.60 and 2207.20) or any mixture containing such ethyl alcohol (provided for in heading 2710 or 3824) if such ethyl alcohol or mixture is to be used as a fuel or in producing a mixture of gasoline and alcohol, a mixture of a special fuel and alcohol, or any other mixture to be used as fuel (including motor fuel provided for in subheading 2710.12.15, 2710.19.16, 2710.19.24 or 2710.20.15), or is suitable for any such uses". The first two digits (99) are the chapter — Special classification provisions — and digits 3-4 (9901) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

What products fall under HS 990100?

Common products classified under 990100 include ethanol, fuel ethanol, alcohol fuel, gasohol, ethyl alcohol and similar items matching ethyl alcohol. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

How do I find the import duty for HS code 990100?

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 990100 the same in every country?

The first 6 digits (990100) 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.
