What products fall under HS 990212?
Common products classified under 990212 include woven wood blinds, bamboo window shades, natural reed blinds, wooden blind material and similar items matching plaiting materials and products of plaiting…. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 990212?
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 990212 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (990212) 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.
