Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "38" represent chemical products.

Specifically, Chapter 38 covers the following main categories:

• Miscellaneous chemical products: Including various organic and inorganic chemicals, such as:
  • Alcohols, ethers, ketones, aldehydes, acids, esters, etc., organic chemicals
  • Inorganic acids, bases, salts
  • Organic synthetic chemicals
  • Raw materials for plastics, resins, etc., polymers
• Pharmaceutical chemicals: Including raw materials for drugs, intermediates, etc.
• Pesticide chemicals: Including insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc.
• Dyes, pigments, coatings, inks, etc.
• Other chemical products: Such as surfactants, adhesives, detergents, etc.

In short, if the main component of the product is a chemical substance, or if it requires chemical reactions during the production process, it is likely to be classified under Chapter 38.

To determine the classification more accurately, it is also necessary to look at the subsequent digits of the HS code, as well as the specific components, uses, and physical and chemical properties of the product.
