Reading code 4001

The first two digits (40) place this code in chapter 40 — Rubber and Articles Thereof. 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.

Natural and synthetic rubber, tyres and tubes, and rubber articles. New pneumatic tyres attract the 28% slab.
