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 3002?
3002 is the HS 2022 heading for Human blood; animal blood for therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic uses; antisera, other blood fractions, immunological products, modified or obtained by biotechnological processes; vaccines, toxins, cultures of micro-organisms (excluding yeasts) etc. It is in chapter 30 (Pharmaceutical products), section VI, and has 10 six-digit subheadings, from 3002.12 to 3002.90.
Can I write 3002 on a commercial invoice?
Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 3002.12), 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.
