HS Codes for Export of Hemp

December 16, 2005

16 December 2005 HS Codes for Export of Hemp The following information is from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. The USA has approved a new statistical break for 'hemp seed', but have denied a break for the 'hemp oilcake' because of no trade at this time. The Americans already had an existing code for 'hemp oil' 1515.90.80.10* so Canada created one on our Export side. Therefore, here is what the structure will look like: http://www.cscb.ca/sites/default/files/uploads/listinfo/hemphscodes.doc Please note that our new codes come into effect as of January 1, 2006 as we only process new Export codes once a year. The Americans, however, had their new codes in place as of July, 2005. Data for new US code of hemp seeds will be rolled up into our existing Export code 1207.99.00 and data for hemp oil will still go into our Export code 1515.90.90 until our changes come into effect as of January 1, 2006. Members with questions about this matter should contact Paula Cipriano, Senior Officer, Market Development – Special Crops, at 613.759.7334 or [email protected].
