## How it is structured

2815.30 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 28, are the chapter; the first four, 2815, are heading 28.15; the last two, 30, identify the subheading within the heading.

Countries add their own digits after these six for their national tariff lines.

- Chapter 28: Inorganic chemicals; organic or inorganic compounds of precious metals, of rare-earth metals, of radioactive elements or of isotopes
- Heading 28.15: Sodium hydroxide (caustic soda); potassium hydroxide (caustic potash); peroxides of sodium or potassium
- Subheading 2815.30: Peroxides of sodium or potassium

## In other countries
