Product classification
HS code for Rosin: 3806.10
Rosin and resin acids.
Classification of rosin under HS 3806.10
Rosin is classified under HS code 3806.10. This classification is part of Chapter 38, which encompasses miscellaneous chemical products. Heading 3806 specifically covers rosin and resin acids, as well as their derivatives. Rosin is a solid form of resin obtained from pines and some other plants, produced by heating fresh liquid resin to vaporize the volatile liquid terpene components. Under the Harmonized System, 3806.10 is the primary subheading for the raw or slightly modified form of rosin. The classification depends on the chemical composition and the degree of processing; once the rosin is chemically altered into salts or esters, it moves to different subheadings within the same heading.

Codes often confused with 3806.10
Common mistake. Rosin is often confused with natural resins classified under HS code 1301.90. Heading 1301 is intended for raw natural gums, resins, and gum-resins that have not been processed beyond simple cleaning or sorting. Rosin, having undergone a distillation process to remove terpenes, is considered a manufactured chemical product of Chapter 38. Another common error is using 3806.30, which is specifically for ester gums, or 3806.20 for rosin salts. If the product is pure rosin, 3806.10 is the only correct classification.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
