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 1202?

1202 is the HS 2022 heading for Ground-nuts; not roasted or otherwise cooked, whether or not shelled or broken. It is in chapter 12 (Oil seeds and oleaginous fruits; miscellaneous grains, seeds and fruit, industrial or medicinal plants; straw and fodder), section II, and has 3 six-digit subheadings, from 1202.30 to 1202.42.

Can I write 1202 on a commercial invoice?

Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 1202.30), 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.
