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 3406?

3406 is the HS 2022 heading for Candles, tapers and the like. It is in chapter 34 (Soap, organic surface-active agents; washing, lubricating, polishing or scouring preparations; artificial or prepared waxes, candles and similar articles, modelling pastes, dental waxes and dental preparations with a basis of plaster), section VI, and is not split further: the 6-digit code is 3406.00.

Can I write 3406 on a commercial invoice?

Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 3406.00), 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.
