Common questions
What is HS code 1211?
1211 is the HS 2022 heading for Plants and parts of plants (including seeds and fruits), of a kind used primarily in perfumery, in pharmacy or for insecticidal, fungicidal or similar purposes, fresh, chilled, frozen or dried, whether or not cut, crushed or powdered. It is in chapter 12 (Oil seeds and oleaginous fruits; miscellaneous grains, seeds and fruit, industrial or medicinal plants; straw and fodder), section II, and has 6 six-digit subheadings, from 1211.20 to 1211.90.
Can I write 1211 on a commercial invoice?
Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 1211.20), and the import declaration uses the destination country’s full code of 8 to 10 digits. Use the subheading that matches your product, and confirm the national digits with the buyer, the customs broker or the official tariff.
