Last updated: August 2026 dataDerived from the heartwood of South American quebracho trees, this tannin-rich extract is a primary input for vegetable leather tanning and is also used as a drilling-fluid additive in oil and gas operations. Argentina dominates US supply, which is unsurprising given that quebracho forests are concentrated in the Gran Chaco region spanning Argentina and Paraguay. Classified under the single line 3201100000, the product enters duty-free under the general rate, though importers should confirm current tariff treatment given its origin concentration.

Quebracho extract is used primarily in vegetable leather tanning and secondarily as a thinning agent in oil-well drilling muds. The HTS classification under 3201100000 does not change based on intended end use — the product's botanical origin and tannin content govern classification regardless of the downstream application.
Quebracho extract is a natural, vegetable-origin product classified in Chapter 32 heading 3201, whereas synthetic organic tanning substances fall under heading 3202. The key documentation is a certificate of analysis confirming botanical origin and tannin content; blended products containing both natural and synthetic tannins may require a more detailed classification analysis.
