Germany HS Code

HS Code 391310: Natural polymers (for example, alginic acid) and modified natural polymers (for example, hardened proteins, chemical derivatives of natural rubber), not elsewhere specified or included, in primary forms : Alginic acid, its salts and esters in Germany

Q: Is HS code 391310 the same across all countries?

Yes — up to the 6-digit level, HS code 391310 is the same in every WCO member country. Beyond 6 digits, each country extends the code for national tariff and statistical use. Germany extends it under CN / TARIC / EZT.

Q: What system does Germany use to classify HS code 391310?

Germany classifies products under the Combined Nomenclature / TARIC (CN / TARIC / EZT; locally Kombinierte Nomenklatur / Warenverzeichnis für die Außenhandelsstatistik (EZT)), which extends HS codes to 11 digits. The first 6 digits align with the WCO Harmonized System, and the rest cover national tariff and statistical needs.
