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 following reasons:

  • Material composition: Products mainly made of plastic.
  • Product form: Covers various plastic products, including plastic raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products.
  • Widespread application: Plastic products are widely used in industrial, agricultural, and daily life fields.

More detailed classifications include:

  • 8201: Plastic raw materials (e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, etc.)
  • 8202: Plastic and articles of plastic (e.g., plastic sheets, plastic films, plastic tubes, etc.)
  • 8203: Plastic packaging products
  • 8204: Plastic drums, cans, boxes, etc.
  • 8205: Plastic products (e.g., plastic tableware, plastic toys, etc.)
  • 8206: Plastic products (e.g., plastic building materials, plastic furniture, etc.)

  • 8208: Plastic products (e.g., plastic signs, plastic labels, etc.)
  • 8210: Plastic products (e.g., plastic bags, plastic travel items, etc.)
