The first 6 digits are the same in every country that uses HS 2022. Each country adds 2–4 more digits and sets the duty in its own tariff, and the section and chapter notes can include or exclude products, so check the destination’s official tariff before you put the code on the invoice.

Common questions

What is HS code 0307?

0307 is the HS 2022 heading for Molluscs; whether in shell or not, live, fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, salted or in brine; smoked molluscs, whether in shell or not, whether or not cooked before or during the smoking process. It is in chapter 03 (Fish and crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates), section I, and has 28 six-digit subheadings, from 0307.11 to 0307.99.

Can I write 0307 on a commercial invoice?

Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 0307.11), and the import declaration uses the destination country’s full code of 8 to 10 digits. Use the subheading that matches your product, and confirm the national digits with the buyer, the customs broker or the official tariff.
