Reading code 0502

The first two digits (05) place this code in chapter 05 — Products of Animal Origin. As a 4-digit heading it groups a whole product family; 6 and 8-digit codes underneath it get more specific. 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.
