HS Code 3805Gum, wood or sulphate turpentine, other terpenic oils; crude dipentene; sulphite turpentine, other crude para-cymene; pine oil containing alpha-terpineol as the main constituent

What HS code 3805 covers

Heading 3805 is for terpenic oils. These are oily liquids that come from conifer trees such as pine. Turpentine is the common example.

Gum turpentine comes from the sticky resin of the living tree. Wood turpentine comes from the wood itself. Sulphate turpentine is a by-product of making paper pulp. All of them are turpentine oils, and all sit in this heading.

The heading also names crude dipentene, sulphite turpentine and other crude para-cymene. Pine oil whose main constituent is alpha-terpineol is listed too.

You may see the same heading called HSN code 3805 or HTS code 3805. The name changes by country, but the heading stays the same. Each country then adds its own national tariff lines and sets its own duty. Check your own tariff before you ship, or try the {{HS code classifier}}.

Gum turpentine oil HS code: 380510 or 380590?

Use 380510 when the goods are gum, wood or sulphate turpentine oils. If your product is sold simply as turpentine and comes from one of those sources, start here.

Use 380590 for the other goods in the heading. The code ends with "n.e.c.", which means not elsewhere classified. It catches what 380510 does not.

A quick way to decide:

• Ask how the oil was made. Tree resin, wood or the sulphate pulp process points to 380510.
• Ask what the product is.
• Check pine oil with care. The heading names it, but neither code text names it directly, so confirm with a customs broker or the classifier.

What is not classified under 3805

Many products from wood and resin look close to turpentine. They have their own headings. Mixing them up is a common reason for wrong codes.

Check these before you settle on 3805:

• Tall oil, refined or not, goes to 3803.
• Residual lyes from wood pulp, including lignin sulphonates, go to 3804.
• Mixed solvents and thinners go to 3814.
