HS Code 1302.19 – Vegetable saps and extracts; n.e.c. in item no. 1302.1
HS code 1302.19 is the 6-digit subheading for vegetable saps and extracts, n.e.c. in item no. 1302.1. It is used for aloe vera extract, licorice root extract (other than 1302.12), ginseng extract, ginkgo biloba extract and stevia extract.
What HS 1302.19 covers
This HS code encompasses a diverse range of vegetable saps and extracts, excluding specific types like opium, licorice, and hops, which are classified elsewhere. These natural ingredients are crucial in international trade, serving as raw materials for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and beverage, and nutraceutical industries. Importers are typically manufacturers seeking active compounds, flavorings, colorants, or functional ingredients for their products. Exporters are often countries with rich biodiversity or advanced processing capabilities to extract and concentrate these plant-derived substances. Key considerations in trade include the purity and concentration of the extract, sustainable sourcing practices, and compliance with various food and drug safety regulations globally. The demand for natural and plant-based products continues to drive significant trade in this category, making it a dynamic sector for botanical ingredients.

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).
