Reading code 6903

The first two digits (69) place this code in chapter 69 — Ceramic 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.

Ceramic tiles, sanitaryware, tableware, and refractory goods — vitrified tiles and sanitaryware sit at 18% GST.
