HS code first two digits "55" represents "Fuels, mineral oils and their products".
Specifically, this classification includes the following:
- Fuels: Including coal, wood, shale, charcoal, kerosene, coal tar, etc.
- Mineral oils and their products: Including crude oil, petroleum gas, lubricating oil, wax, paraffin wax, asphalt, fuel oil, solvents, white oil, etc.
Reason for classification:
This classification is based on the source and primary use of the product. These products are mainly derived from mineral resources (such as petroleum, coal) or obtained through refining and processing mineral resources, and their main uses are as fuels, lubricants, solvents, or for other industrial purposes.
In short, if your product is used for burning to provide energy, or is derived from petroleum, coal, and other mineral resources, it is likely to fall under HS code 55.
For more accurate classification, it is necessary to look further at the subsequent digits of the HS code, as there are many more detailed subcategories under the 55 category.
HS code first four digits "5514"
Classification description: Woven fabrics of synthetic staple fibers, containing less than 85% by weight of synthetic staple fibers, mainly or solely blended with cotton, with a weight exceeding 170 grams per square meter.
