HS Code 1302.13 – Vegetable saps and extracts; of hops
HS code 1302.13 is the 6-digit subheading for vegetable saps and extracts, of hops. It is used for hop extract liquid, CO2 hop extract, isomerized hop extract, hop oil and hop resin.
What HS 1302.13 covers
This HS code specifically covers extracts derived from hops (Humulus lupulus), a crucial ingredient primarily used in the brewing industry. Hop extracts are highly valued for their ability to impart bitterness, aroma, and preservative qualities to beer, making them indispensable for brewers worldwide. Beyond brewing, these extracts also find niche applications in herbal medicine and some food products. International trade is driven by major hop-growing regions exporting to breweries globally, ranging from craft breweries to large industrial producers. Key aspects for trade include the concentration of alpha acids (for bitterness), the profile of essential oils (for aroma), and consistency in quality. These extracts are often traded in concentrated forms like liquid extracts or pellets for efficiency in transport and storage, optimizing their use in the brewing process.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
