Rosin and resin acids
Heading 3806 — Rosin and resin acids and derivatives thereof; rosin spirit and rosin oils; run gums
Chapter 38: Miscellaneous chemical products
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 380610 when importing or exporting rosin and resin acids, which are derived from natural sources like pine trees. For example, if you're shipping a container of solid rosin used in adhesives, this code applies.
This code specifically covers rosin and resin acids in their natural forms, distinguishing them from other chemical products. For instance, while HS-6 380620 includes modified rosin, HS-6 380610 strictly pertains to unmodified versions.
When considering products under this heading, note that rosin acids are often used in inks, varnishes, and as adhesives. If your shipment includes rosin spirits or oils, you would need to look at different subheadings.
Understanding the nuances between HS-6 380610 and nearby codes can help avoid misclassification. For example, while HS-6 380630 covers turpentine and its derivatives, HS-6 380610 focuses solely on the acids themselves.
