Reading code 5006

The first two digits (50) place this code in chapter 50 — Silk. 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.

Silkworm cocoons, raw silk, silk yarn, and woven silk fabrics — mostly at the concessional 5% textile rate.
