How to read this code
2601.12 is the six-digit HS subheading for iron ores and concentrates. 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 mineral products lines — check our import guides for your market.
