Reading code 3006

The first two digits (30) place this code in chapter 30 — Pharmaceutical Products. 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.

Medicines, vaccines, bandages, and other pharmaceutical goods. Most medicaments attract a concessional 12% (some life-saving drugs 5% or nil).
