6-digit subheadings (2)
Official HS 2022 subheading texts. National tariff schedules subdivide these further (8-10 digit lines) and set the actual duty rates.
Chapter 23 classification notes
Chapter 23 covers significant trade volumes including pet food. Pet food destined for retail sale must comply with destination veterinary + labelling rules; personal-quantity pet-food carriage with the pet usually clears as personal effects.
Frequent misclassification in this chapter
Pet food 2309.10 (dog/cat) vs 2309.90 (other animal feed); commercial-grade animal feed has different duty than retail pet food.
Classification certainty
The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
