Reading code 050100

The first two digits (05) place this code in chapter 05 — Products of Animal Origin. Heading 0501 groups the product family, and the remaining digits pin down this specific 6-digit classification. Remember: you can never invent a shorter code by truncating a longer one — only codes that exist in the official tariff are valid.

Animal-origin products not covered elsewhere — bones, horns, bristles, and similar materials used industrially.
