Detailed information for HTS Code 1210.20.00
Chapter 12 covers oil seeds, oleaginous fruits, miscellaneous grains, seeds, and industrial or medicinal plants, and this specific code, 1210.20.00, deals with hop cones—either fresh or dried, ground, powdered, or formed into pellets—and lupulin. This code specifically covers hop cones that have been processed into these forms, rather than whole, unprocessed cones. There are two subdivisions: 1210.20.00.20 for hop cone pellets and 1210.20.00.40 for all other forms of processed hop cones, so select the appropriate suffix based on the specific product form. Duty rates vary depending on the country of origin, with general rates and special free rates for certain countries or those with trade agreements.
