Product classification
HS code for Hop extract: 1302.13
Vegetable saps and extracts, of hops.
Classification of hop extract under HS 1302.13
Hop extract is classified under HS code 1302.13, which falls within the category of vegetable saps and extracts. This classification is determined by the processing method used to create the product. Unlike hop cones or pellets, which are physical plant parts, extracts are obtained through sophisticated extraction processes such as solvent extraction (typically using ethanol) or supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) extraction. These methods isolate the essential resins, alpha acids, and beta acids from the lupulin glands of the hop cone. The resulting product is a concentrated, often viscous, substance used primarily in the brewing industry for consistent bittering and aroma. Under the Harmonized System, Chapter 13 is designated for vegetable products that have been extracted and are not more specifically described in other chapters. Because hop extract is a concentrated sap/extract and not the plant material itself, it is excluded from Chapter 12. This classification is vital for regulatory compliance, as extracts are often subject to different food safety and purity standards than raw agricultural products.

Codes often confused with 1302.13
Common mistake. Hop extract is often confused with HS code 3301.90, which covers essential oils and resinoids. While both are derived from hops, essential oils are typically produced by steam distillation and contain only volatile aromatic compounds, whereas extracts under 1302.13 contain both resins and oils. Another common error is 1210.20, which is for hop pellets. Pellets are ground plant material, while 1302.13 is a chemical extract. It is also important not to confuse this with 1302.19, which is a residual category for other vegetable extracts.

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).
