Reading code 2202

The first two digits (22) place this code in chapter 22 — Beverages and Vinegar. 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.

Mineral and aerated waters, juices-based drinks, and vinegar. Aerated and caffeinated beverages attract the top 28% slab plus cess.
