HS Code 3807Wood tar; wood tar oils; wood creosote; wood naphtha; vegetable pitch; brewers' pitch and similar preparations based on rosin, resin acids or on vegetable pitch

What heading 3807 covers

Wood tar is a thick, dark, sticky liquid. It comes off wood when the wood is heated with very little air. Wood tar oils and wood creosote are oily liquids usually taken from that tar. Wood naphtha is a light, thin liquid from the same process.

Vegetable pitch is a dark, sticky residue from plant sources. Brewers' pitch is a close relative, used to coat beer casks. The heading also takes rosin-based preparations, which are mixtures built on rosin, resin acids or vegetable pitch.

Within the wider group of chemical products, these are the tar and pitch goods. A pure rosin or a pure resin acid belongs elsewhere, so check the comparison below first.

Subheadings, HSN code 3807 and national tariff lines

Buyers often ask whether the heading has subheadings. At world level it does not, so international statistics all sit at 380700.

Many countries add more digits after 380700 for their own tariff lines. These longer codes are national and differ from one country to the next. India uses the same first digits and calls the number the HSN code. Duty and tax are set by each country, so we show no rates here.

Customs tariff classification depends on what the goods are made of and how they are used. If you are unsure which national line fits, describe your goods in the HS code classifier. Then confirm the line with your customs broker or the tariff of the country you ship to.

3807 vs related headings 3803, 3805 and 3806

Several headings deal with wood and resin products, and the names sound alike. Decide by the main material of the goods.

People often ask if rosin is classified under 3807 or 3806. Rosin itself goes to 3806.

• 3803 is tall oil, refined or not.
• 3804 is residual lye from wood pulp making, including lignin sulphonates.
• 3806 is rosin, resin acids and their derivatives, rosin spirit, rosin oils and run gums.
