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 5603?
5603 is the HS 2022 heading for Nonwovens; whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated. It is in chapter 56 (Wadding, felt and nonwovens, special yarns; twine, cordage, ropes and cables and articles thereof), section XI, and has 8 six-digit subheadings, from 5603.11 to 5603.94.
Can I write 5603 on a commercial invoice?
Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 5603.11), 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.
