How HSbro determines the code
HSbro doesn't guess. It applies the WCO General Rules of Interpretation in strict order — heading terms and binding section/chapter notes first (GRI 1), then the essential-character and specificity rules as needed — over a retrieved, cited corpus, and drills to European Union's 10-digit national line. Every substantive claim traces to a source you can open.
