About chapter 96

Chapter 96 covers miscellaneous manufactured articles that don't fit any other chapter: buttons, pens, lighters, brushes, combs and similar everyday manufactured goods.

Classification tip: Lighters and matches-adjacent products sometimes attract child-resistant packaging or fire-safety compliance requirements in destination markets beyond the base HS classification.

Chapter 96 FAQ

What does HS code chapter 96 cover?

Chapter 96 of the Harmonized System covers: miscellaneous manufactured articles. It belongs to section XX (Miscellaneous Manufactures) and contains 20 four-digit headings, 9601–9620.

How many HS codes are in chapter 96?

Chapter 96 contains 20 four-digit headings and 49 six-digit subheadings. Countries subdivide these further (8–13 digits) in their national tariff schedules, so the full national count is larger.

Is HS code 9601 the same in every country?

Yes. The six-digit level of every code in this chapter is harmonised by the World Customs Organization and identical in all member countries. Digits beyond the sixth (for example the US 10-digit HTS or the EU 8-digit CN) are national and set the actual duty rate.

How do I choose the right code within chapter 96?

Work from the four-digit heading down: pick the heading that best matches your product, then the six-digit subheading that matches its material, form or processing. If two codes seem to fit, customs rules (the General Rules of Interpretation) decide, and when in doubt, confirm with your customs broker before filing.
