Reading code 1702

The first two digits (17) place this code in chapter 17 — Sugars and Sugar Confectionery. 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.

Cane and beet sugar, jaggery, glucose, and sugar confectionery. Sugar attracts 5% GST while confectionery is generally at 18%.
