HS-4 · Heading

1302 — Vegetable saps and extracts; pectic substances, pectinates and pectates; agar-agar and other mucilages and thickeners, whether or not modified, derived from vegetable products

Chapter 13: Lac; gums; saps

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 1302 when importing vegetable saps and extracts, such as opium or liquorice extracts. For example, if you're bringing in liquorice root extract for use in confectionery, this is the appropriate code to declare.

When deciding between HS-6 lines, note that 130211 is specifically for opium extracts, while 130212 covers those derived from liquorice. If your product contains a blend of extracts, you might need to classify it under 130219, which captures all other vegetable saps not specified elsewhere.

For thickeners, HS-6 130231 is designated for agar-agar, while 130232 pertains to mucilages from locust beans or guar seeds. If your product includes a mix of these thickeners, consider 130239 for those not elsewhere classified.
