Reading code 2601

The first two digits (26) place this code in chapter 26 — Ores, Slag, and Ash. 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.

Metal ores and concentrates — iron, manganese, copper, aluminium — plus slag and ash from metallurgy.
