8 digit HS code
An 8 digit HS code is the United States tariff line, the level at which the rate of duty is set; the table below counts the schedule's numbers by length and says what each length means.
Tariff numbers by digit length
| Digits | Lines | Example | Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 961 | 0101 | heading: the product group every HS member shares |
| 6 | 2093 | 0101.90 | subheading: the last level shared worldwide |
| 8 | 6858 | 0101.21.00 | tariff line: where the United States sets the rate of duty |
| 10 | 19949 | 0101.21.00.10 | statistical suffix: the level reported on an entry |
Four and six digits are shared with every Harmonized System member; the eight-digit line is national and sets the rate; the tenth digit exists for statistics and is the number reported on an entry.
