Common questions

What is HS code 2008?

2008 is the HS 2022 heading for Fruit, nuts and other edible parts of plants; prepared or preserved in ways n.e.c., whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or spirit, not elsewhere specified or included. It is in chapter 20 (Preparations of vegetables, fruit, nuts or other parts of plants), section IV, and has 13 six-digit subheadings, from 2008.11 to 2008.99.

Can I write 2008 on a commercial invoice?

Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 2008.11), 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.
