About this HS Code
HS Code 1211 covers plants and plant parts primarily used in perfumery, pharmacy, or for insecticidal/fungicidal purposes. The classification includes specific subcategories for ginseng roots (1211.20), coca leaf (1211.30), poppy straw (1211.40), and other medicinal plants (1211.90). This division bridges agricultural production and pharmaceutical/cosmetic industries. Products range from bulk dried herbs to standardized botanical extracts. Major exporters include China, India, and Morocco. Importation often requires permits verifying non-endangered CITES status and phytosanitary certificates. Unlike conventional crops, many items are wild-harvested rather than cultivated, creating unique supply chain and sustainability challenges for consistent commercial supply.
