How to read this code
09.02 is the four-digit HS heading for tea, whether or not flavoured. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many agriculture & spices lines — check our import guides for your market.
