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 2523?

2523 is the HS 2022 heading for Portland cement, aluminous cement (ciment fondu), slag cement, supersulphate cement and similar hydraulic cements, whether or not coloured or in the form of clinkers. It is in chapter 25 (Salt; sulphur; earths, stone; plastering materials, lime and cement), section V, and has 5 six-digit subheadings, from 2523.10 to 2523.90.

Can I write 2523 on a commercial invoice?

Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 2523.10), 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.
