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 2106?

2106 is the HS 2022 heading for Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included. It is in chapter 21 (Miscellaneous edible preparations), section IV, and has 2 six-digit subheadings, from 2106.10 to 2106.90.

Can I write 2106 on a commercial invoice?

Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 2106.10), 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.
