Questions
HS code 990210: common questions
What is HS code 990210?
HS code 990210 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Siloxanes and silicones, di-Me, polymers with Me silsesquioxanes and polypropylene glycol mono-Bu ether (CAS No. 68554-65-4), greater than 70 percent by weight, with less than 8 percent percent by weight siloxanes and silicones, di-Me, polymers with Me silsesquioxanes and polyethylene-polypropylene glycol mono-Bu ether, less than 8 percent by weight poly(oxy(methyl-1,2-ethanediyl)), α-butyl-ω hydroxyl (CAS No. 9003-13-8), less than 2 percent by weight oxirane, methyl-, polymer with oxirane, monobutylether (CAS No. 9038-95-3), less than 8 percent by weight silanamine, 1,1,1, trimethyl (CAS No. 68909-20-6) and less than 1 percent by weight silicon dioxide (CAS No. 7631-86-9) (provided for in subheading 3824.99.92)". The first two digits (99) are the chapter — Special classification provisions — and digits 3-4 (9902) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 990210?
Common products classified under 990210 include silicone polymer blend, defoamer compound, silicone resin mixture, dimethicone copolymer and similar items matching siloxanes and silicones. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 990210?
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 990210 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (990210) 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.
