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 3003?
3003 is the HS 2022 heading for Medicaments; (not goods of heading no. 3002, 3005 or 3006) of two or more constituents mixed together for therapeutic or prophylactic use not in measured doses or in forms or packings for retail sale. It is in chapter 30 (Pharmaceutical products), section VI, and has 10 six-digit subheadings, from 3003.10 to 3003.90.
Can I write 3003 on a commercial invoice?
Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 3003.10), 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.
