Chapter 13: Lac, Gums, Resins
HTS Chapter 13 covers a range of natural products, including lac, gums, resins, and other vegetable saps and extracts, which are essential in various industries. This chapter encompasses categories such as natural gums (e.g., gum arabic, gum tragacanth), resins (like rosin and pine resin), and extracts from plants that have applications in food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and adhesives. Common examples of products under this chapter include guar gum, which is widely used as a thickening agent in food, and shellac, a resin used in coatings and varnishes. Industries such as food and beverage, cosmetics and personal care, and pharmaceuticals frequently import these goods to enhance product formulations and manufacturing processes. Importers should be aware of regulatory considerations, including compliance with FDA regulations for food-grade products and potential restrictions on certain plant-derived substances due to environmental concerns. Understanding the intricacies of HTS Chapter 13 is crucial for business owners and importers to ensure smooth trade operations and adherence to customs regulations.
