Six digits is as far as the international nomenclature goes, and it is the same six digits in every country that applies the Harmonized System. Your destination adds further digits of its own, and the rate lives on that national line — which is why the US lines below run to eight and ten digits, and why the lookups go to each authority's own tariff.

US national lines under 4706.93
The United States subdivides this subheading into 1 line. They share a duty rate, so the classification below the subheading affects reporting rather than the amount.
| Line | Description | General | Preferential |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4706.93.01.00 | Obtained by a combination of mechanical and chemical processes | Free | — |
A blank General cell means the line states no rate of its own and takes the one above it — the line it is stated on is named, so the figure can be checked where it actually appears. Preferential rates are listed with the programme codes that grant them; the schedule offering a rate is not the same as your goods qualifying for it.
Preferential rates for 4706.93
No preference programme applies to these lines for any origin — the general rate is the rate, wherever the goods come from. That is worth knowing: there is nothing to claim here, so no certificate of origin will reduce the duty.

1. For the purposes of heading 4702, the expression "chemical wood pulp, dissolving grades" means chemical woodpulp having by weight an insoluble fraction of 92 percent or more for soda or sulfate woodpulp or of 88 percent or more for sulfite woodpulp after one hour in a caustic soda solution containing 18 percent sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at 20°C, and for sulfite woodpulp an ash content that does not exceed 0.15 percent by weight.
Notes are reproduced from the published tariff schedule. They govern classification, but reading them is not the same as applying them to your goods — that is what a broker or a binding ruling is for.
