Short answer: paper cones used for winding textile yarn are classified under HS subheading 4822.10. National tariffs add their own digits: 48221000 (4822 10 00) in India's HSN and the EU's Combined Nomenclature, 4822.1000 in Pakistan's PCT and 4822.10.00.00 in the US HTS. The duty depends on the importing country, the importer and the origin of the goods, so the table below links each figure to the official tariff it comes from.
