Common questions
What is HS code 4906?
4906 is the HS 2022 heading for Plans and drawings; for architectural, engineering, industrial, commercial, topographical or similar, being originals drawn by hand; hand-written texts; photo- graphic reproductions; their carbon copies. It is in chapter 49 (Printed books, newspapers, pictures and other products of the printing industry; manuscripts, typescripts and plans), section X, and is not split further: the 6-digit code is 4906.00.
Can I write 4906 on a commercial invoice?
Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 4906.00), 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.
