Reading code 2008

The first two digits (20) place this code in chapter 20 — Preparations of Vegetables and Fruits. 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.

Jams, juices, pickles, canned vegetables and fruits, and other preserved preparations.
