Harmonized System Code Classification

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

Specifically, this chapter covers a wide range of chemical industry products, including:

• Inorganic chemicals: For example, sulfur, calcium oxide, sodium chloride, etc.
• Organic chemicals: For example, alcohols, ketones, acids, organic synthetic chemicals, etc.
• Plastics and their products: For example, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, etc.
• Miscellaneous products of the chemical industry: For example, dyes, pigments, resins, adhesives, etc.
• Specialty chemicals: For example, intermediates for medicines, intermediates for pesticides, etc.

In short, if the main component or use of the product is related to the chemical industry, its HS code is likely to start with "38".

To classify more accurately, it is necessary to further examine the complete HS code, as well as the specific composition, use, and physical and chemical properties of the product.

The first four digits of the HS code:

HS code: 3808

Classification: Insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, germination inhibitors and plant growth regulators, disinfectants and similar products, in retail packages or in formulated form (e.g., sulfur-treated bands, wicks and candles, and fly paper).

Six-digit explanation:

3808.93 refers to:

Insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, germination inhibitors and plant growth regulators, disinfectants and similar products, in retail packages or in formulated form or as articles (e.g., sulfur-treated bands, wicks and candles and fly paper):

• Other:
• Herbicides, germination inhibitors and plant growth regulators:
  • Other:
  • Other:
    • Mixtures of N-(phosphomethyl)glycine (glyphosate) or its salts or esters with application aids

8-10 digit explanation:

HS code: 3808932000
Classification: Insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, germination inhibitors and plant growth regulators, disinfectants and similar products, in retail packages or in formulated form or as articles (e.g., sulfur-treated bands, wicks and candles and fly paper): → Other → Herbicides, germination inhibitors and plant growth regulators → Other → Containing inorganic substances

Explanation: This HS code belongs to the classification of products such as insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, germination inhibitors, and plant growth regulators. Specifically, these products are sold in retail packaging or in formulated form and belong to other herbicides, germination inhibitors, and plant growth regulators, and contain inorganic substances.

Product examples: * Glyphosate herbicide formulation with inorganic additives * Herbicides containing inorganic salts for weed control * Plant growth regulator mixtures with inorganic components * Insecticide formulations containing inorganic compounds * Disinfectant products with inorganic substances
