Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "82" represent plastics and articles of plastic.

Specifically, this classification is based on the material of the product. Any product primarily made of plastic, regardless of its shape, use, or manufacturing process, will be classified under Chapter 82.

Here are some more detailed explanations:

  • Broad scope: Includes various plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), etc., as well as various products made from these plastics.
  • Material determines classification: Even if the product contains other materials, as long as plastic is the main component, it will typically be classified under Chapter 82.
  • Common products: Include plastic bags, plastic bottles, plastic pipes, plastic sheets, plastic furniture, plastic toys, plastic packaging materials, etc.

In summary, if your product is mainly made of plastic, the first two digits of the HS code are likely to be "82".
