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 0603?

0603 is the HS 2022 heading for Flowers; cut flowers and flower buds of a kind suitable for bouquets or for ornamental purposes, fresh, dried, dyed, bleached, impregnated or otherwise prepared. It is in chapter 06 (Trees and other plants, live; bulbs, roots and the like; cut flowers and ornamental foliage), section II, and has 7 six-digit subheadings, from 0603.11 to 0603.90.

Can I write 0603 on a commercial invoice?

Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 0603.11), 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.
