## Classification depends on the exact product

The right code depends on what the product is made of, how it is made and what it is for, so two products sold as dog food can fall under different codes.

Guidance from published tariff data, not a binding ruling. For a decision customs must follow, apply to the destination’s customs authority for a binding tariff ruling.
