The first 6 digits are the same in every country that uses HS 2022. Each country adds 2–4 more digits and sets the duty in its own tariff, and the section and chapter notes can include or exclude products, so check the destination’s official tariff before you put the code on the invoice.

1602 is the HS 2022 heading for Prepared or preserved meat, meat offal, blood or insects. It is in chapter 16 (Meat, fish, crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, or insects; preparations thereof), section IV, and has 10 six-digit subheadings, from 1602.10 to 1602.90.
Can I write 1602 on a commercial invoice?
Customs usually need at least the 6-digit subheading (for example 1602.10), and the import declaration uses the destination country’s full code of 8 to 10 digits. Use the subheading that matches your product, and confirm the national digits with the buyer, the customs broker or the official tariff.
