Common questions

What is HS code 3601?

3601 is the HS 2022 heading for Explosives; propellent powders. It is in chapter 36 (Explosives; pyrotechnic products; matches; pyrophoric alloys; certain combustible preparations), section VI, and is not split further: the 6-digit code is 3601.00.

Can I write 3601 on a commercial invoice?

Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 3601.00), 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.
