Questions

HS code 990211: common questions

What is HS code 990211?

HS code 990211 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Plug-type closures of polyethylene, suitable for use in capping specimen tubes and measuring 15 mm in length; each closure having an upper portion designed to extend beyond the specimen tube to permit holding of the closure, such upper portion having a diameter of 15.5 mm and thickness of 3.3 mm and having a notched groove; with the bottom portion of such closure designed for insertion into a specimen tube having a diameter measuring approximately 11.7 mm; the foregoing closures certified by the importer as for use in an automated insertion system (provided for in subheading 3923.50.00)". 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 990211?

Common products classified under 990211 include specimen tube caps, polyethylene stoppers, lab vial closures, automated capping plugs and similar items matching plug-type closures of polyethylene. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

How do I find the import duty for HS code 990211?

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 990211 the same in every country?

The first 6 digits (990211) 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.
