HS Chapter 39 | Plastics and articles thereof

This page provides detailed information about the HS2 code for Plastics and articles thereof, including a comprehensive list of corresponding HS6 codes and their descriptions. Find out more about the tariffs, regulations, and requirements for importing or exporting goods classified under this HS2 code.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is covered under HS Chapter 39?

HS Chapter 39 covers Plastics and articles thereof, including a wide range of products such as

Ethylene polymers; in primary forms, polyethylene having a specific gravity of less than 0.94
Ethylene polymers; in primary forms, polyethylene having a specific gravity of 0.94 or more
Ethylene polymers; in primary forms, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers

What is the difference between HS2 and HS6 codes?

HS2 codes refer to the first two digits of the Harmonized System code, representing a broad category of goods. HS6 codes extend this to six digits, providing more specific classifications within the broader category.

What are the tariff rates for importing goods under HS Chapter 39?

Tariff rates can vary depending on the specific HS6 code, the country of origin, and any applicable trade agreements. You can consult the Harmonized Tariff Schedule or contact a customs broker for precise rates.

Are there any specific regulations for importing goods under HS Chapter 39?

Yes, importing goods under this chapter typically requires compliance with various regulations, including health and safety standards, import permits, and more. These regulations can vary by country.

How can I find out the requirements for exporting goods under HS Chapter 39?

The requirements for exporting goods can be obtained from your country’s customs authorities or relevant regulatory bodies. They will provide guidelines on necessary documentation, permits, and compliance standards.

Can goods under HS Chapter 39 benefit from preferential tariff programs?

Yes, goods under this chapter may benefit from preferential tariff programs under certain trade agreements. Identifying the correct HS code and understanding the applicable trade agreements is essential to take advantage of these programs.

What happens if I use the wrong HS code for my goods?

Using the wrong HS code can lead to incorrect tariff rates, potential fines, and delays in customs clearance. It’s crucial to ensure the correct HS code is used to avoid complications.

Where can I find more detailed information about HS Chapter 39?

You can find more detailed information about HS Chapter 39 in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule or by consulting the World Customs Organization (WCO) website. Customs brokers and trade consultants can also provide assistance.

Who can help me with classifying my products under the correct HS code?

Customs brokers, trade consultants, and specialized classification services can help you accurately classify your products under the correct HS code.
