Reading code 4823

The first two digits (48) place this code in chapter 48 — Paper and Paperboard. 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.
