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 8453?

8453 is the HS 2022 heading for Machinery for preparing, tanning or working hides, skins or leather or for making or repairing footwear or other articles of hides, skins or leather, other than sewing machines. It is in chapter 84 (Machinery and mechanical appliances, boilers, nuclear reactors; parts thereof), section XVI, and has 4 six-digit subheadings, from 8453.10 to 8453.90.

Can I write 8453 on a commercial invoice?

Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 8453.10), 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.
