What does customs tariff code 2209.00.11 cover?

How many digits does 2209.00.11 have?

What happens if the customs tariff code is wrong?

An incorrect code leads to post-clearance recovery of duty and import VAT, delays at clearance, and a penalty where it repeats. A classification with documented reasoning can be defended in an audit.
