How to find the HS code for xylene (Swiss tariff)
The HS code for xylene depends on its composition and intended use. Whether you import o-, m-, or p-xylene or a mixed isomer product, and whether it is destined as fuel, determines the exact 8-digit Swiss customs tariff number. Our tool identifies your correct code in seconds.

What determines the tariff number?
- Xylene isomer or mixed product. The specific chemical form matters: o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene, or an isomer mixture are classified differently and receive different tariff numbers.
- Intended use as fuel. Xylene designated for use as fuel falls under a different tariff heading than xylene for other purposes, such as solvent or chemical feedstock applications.
- Chemical purity and composition. Pure xylene and mixtures containing other aromatic hydrocarbons are classified separately. Your product's exact composition determines the final classification.
Permits & requirements
Depending on the exact classification, permits or requirements may apply to this goods group (issued by authorities such as BAZG). Checking with the tool flags possible requirements and the responsible authorities.

What happens if I declare the wrong HS code?
An incorrect code can cause customs delays, additional duties, or other regulatory consequences. Our tool helps ensure accuracy and compliance.
Are permits or approvals required for xylene imports?
