HS code for Garden fungicide: 3808.92

Fungicides, other than containing goods specified in Subheading Note 1 to this Chapter, put up in forms or packings for retail sale or as preparations or articles.

Classification of garden fungicide under HS 3808.92

Garden fungicides are classified under HS code 3808.92. This code is part of Chapter 38, which encompasses miscellaneous chemical products. Heading 3808 specifically covers insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, anti-sprouting products, and plant-growth regulators, provided they are put up in forms or packings for retail sale or as preparations or articles. The classification of garden fungicides under 3808.92 is determined by the function of the product—specifically its ability to prevent or destroy fungi. For retail garden products, the packaging is a critical factor; the product must be in a form ready for use by the end consumer or in a package size typical for household gardening. This follows GRI 1 and GRI 6, ensuring that the chemical composition and the intended retail application align with the subheading for fungicides.

Codes often confused with 3808.92

Common mistake. Garden fungicides are often confused with HS code 3808.91 (insecticides) or 3808.93 (herbicides). While the packaging may look identical, the active ingredients and the target pest (fungi vs. insects vs. weeds) dictate the specific subheading. Another common error involves classifying pure chemical compounds used as fungicides under Chapter 28 or 29. However, according to Note 1 to Chapter 38, once these chemicals are put up for retail sale as fungicides, they must be classified under heading 3808.

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).
