Chapter 13: Lac; gums; saps

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 130219 when importing or exporting vegetable saps and extracts that don't fit into more specific categories. For example, if you're shipping a natural extract from a plant that serves as a thickener in food products, this code is likely applicable.

This code specifically covers vegetable saps and extracts not elsewhere classified (n.e.c.), meaning they don’t fall under the more defined categories like gum arabic or guar gum, which have their own specific HS codes. If you’re unsure whether your product fits here, consider its composition and intended use.

In contrast to HS-6 130210, which deals with gum arabic, HS-6 130219 encompasses a broader range of extracts. This could include lesser-known plant extracts used in specialized applications, such as cosmetics or pharmaceuticals, where the exact classification isn't straightforward.

When determining if HS-6 130219 is the right code for your product, think about its packaging and end-use. If it’s a concentrated extract in liquid form, or a powdered extract for dietary supplements, this classification may apply.
