Reading code 3201

The first two digits (32) place this code in chapter 32 — Tanning, Dyes, Paints, and Inks. 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.

Tanning extracts, dyes, pigments, paints, varnishes, putty, and printing ink — core inputs for manufacturing and construction.
