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 4802?
4802 is the HS 2022 heading for Uncoated paper and paperboard, used for writing, printing or other graphics, non perforated punch-cards and punch tape paper, in rolls or rectangular sheets, of any size, other than paper of heading 4801 or 4803; hand-made paper and paperboard. It is in chapter 48 (Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp, of paper or paperboard), section X, and has 11 six-digit subheadings, from 4802.10 to 4802.69.
Can I write 4802 on a commercial invoice?
Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 4802.10), 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.
