Find HS Code and trade information for NATURAL

Natural materials refer to substances that are derived from natural sources, as opposed to synthetic or man-made materials. These materials are typically obtained from the environment without significant chemical alteration. Common examples include wood, stone, cotton, wool, silk, and natural fibers like hemp or jute.

Material:
Natural materials are sourced from living organisms or the earth, such as plants, animals, or minerals. They are often biodegradable and have minimal environmental impact compared to synthetic alternatives.

Purpose:
Natural materials are used in various industries, including construction, fashion, textiles, and interior design, for their aesthetic, functional, and sustainable properties.

Function:
Depending on the type of natural material, functions can vary. For example, wood provides structural support and insulation, while natural fibers like cotton are used for clothing due to their breathability and comfort.

Usage Scenarios:
- Construction: Wood, stone, and clay are used in building structures.
- Textiles: Cotton, wool, and silk are used in clothing and fabric production.
- Furniture: Natural wood is commonly used in furniture making.
- Interior Design: Natural materials are often chosen for their aesthetic appeal and eco-friendly qualities.

Common Types:
- Plant-based: Cotton, hemp, bamboo, flax, and jute.
- Animal-based: Wool, silk, leather, and fur.
- Mineral-based: Stone, sand, clay, and gravel.
- Composite natural materials: Products like paper (from wood pulp) or cork (from trees).

Natural goods, in terms of material, use, function, and application scenarios, typically refer to raw or unprocessed materials derived from natural sources, such as wood, wool, and animal fur. These goods are often used in manufacturing, textile production, or as raw materials for further processing. The classification and taxation of such goods depend on their specific type and form, as outlined in the following HS codes:

• 4403990195: This HS code refers to "natural logs, whether or not peeled or with the pith removed, or roughly squared logs." It falls under Chapter 44 (Wood and Wood Products), Heading 4403 (Logs of Coniferous or Non-Coniferous Trees), and Subheading 4403990195 (Other Logs). This classification applies to raw wood that has not undergone significant processing beyond basic shaping.

• 5101195000: This HS code refers to "uncombed or uncarded wool." It falls under Chapter 51 (Wool, Animal Hair, and Manufactured Staple Fibers), Heading 5101 (Wool, Not Shorn or Shorn and Not Combed or Carded), and Subheading 5101195000 (Other Wool). This classification applies to raw wool that has not been processed further.

• 5101116030: This HS code refers to "uncombed or uncarded wool, specifically coarse wool (including scoured coarse wool), obtained by shearing, and with a fineness not exceeding 58S." It falls under Chapter 51, Heading 5101, and Subheading 5101116030. This classification is more specific and applies to a particular type of wool with defined characteristics.

• 5101112000: This HS code refers to "uncombed or uncarded wool." It falls under Chapter 51, Heading 5101, and Subheading 5101112000. This classification is broader than 5101116030 and applies to unprocessed wool in general.

• 4301800204: This HS code refers to "raw furs." It falls under Chapter 43 (Animal Hides, Skins, and Furs), Heading 4301 (Raw Furs), and Subheading 4301800204 (Other Raw Furs). This classification applies to unprocessed animal furs.

Regarding HS code 5101116030, it is important to note that the tariff includes a specific component: 18.7¢ per clean kilogram as a base tariff, in addition to the percentage-based tariffs. This suggests that the tax calculation for this particular HS code may involve both a fixed rate and a percentage-based rate, depending on the applicable trade policies and dates. Users should ensure that the wool is accurately classified and that the correct tariff components are applied based on the time of import and any additional trade regulations.
