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 8442?

8442 is the HS 2022 heading for Machinery, apparatus and equipment (excluding machines of headings 8456 to 8465) for preparing or making printing components; plates, cylinders and other printing components; lithographic stones prepared for printing purposes. It is in chapter 84 (Machinery and mechanical appliances, boilers, nuclear reactors; parts thereof), section XVI, and has 3 six-digit subheadings, from 8442.30 to 8442.50.

Can I write 8442 on a commercial invoice?

Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 8442.30), 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.
