HS code 420600: one code, no choices
Some headings split into many subheadings. This one does not, so you never have to pick between sub-codes. Anything that fits the heading goes under subheading 420600.
You may see the same heading written as HSN code 4206 or 4206 hsn code. HSN is just the label some traders use for Harmonized System numbers. The number itself is the same.
The Harmonized System is a shared list of names and numbers for traded goods. The World Customs Organization looks after it. Customs offices use it to classify what crosses a border.
The six-digit level is the international part. Many countries add more digits for their own tariffs, so check your national list before you file.
