Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "38" represent Miscellaneous Chemicals.

Specifically, this chapter includes the following main contents:

• Inorganic chemicals: For example, sodium chloride, sulfuric acid, aluminum oxide, etc.
• Organic chemicals: For example, methanol, ethanol, acetone, benzene, ethylene, etc.
• Paper chemicals
• Dyes, pigments, colorants
• Other chemicals

These products are classified as miscellaneous chemicals because they are not single natural minerals, metals, or organic substances, but various compounds produced through chemical processing or mixing. They have a wide range of uses, covering industries such as industry, agriculture, and medicine.

In summary, "38" represents various chemical products that have been chemically processed or mixed, rather than substances in their natural state.

If you can provide a more specific HS code (e.g., 3801.30.00), I can provide a more detailed classification explanation.
