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 2303?

2303 is the HS 2022 heading for Residues of starch manufacture, similar residues; beet-pulp, bagasse and other waste of sugar manufacture, brewing or distilling dregs and waste, whether or not in the form of pellets. It is in chapter 23 (Food industries, residues and wastes thereof; prepared animal fodder), section IV, and has 3 six-digit subheadings, from 2303.10 to 2303.30.

Can I write 2303 on a commercial invoice?

Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 2303.10), 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.
