Cocoa butter HS code 1804: what happens after six digits
Six digits are the part every country shares. Many countries add more digits for their own tariff lines, so a national code for cocoa butter can be longer than 180400. The extra digits start with the same six.
Rules on duty and paperwork depend on the importing country. Before you ship, check the national line for your market. If you are unsure whether your product belongs here or in 1803 or 1805, the HS code classifier can help you narrow it down.
