In customs tariffs and trade logistics, a sub-item represents a narrower subcategory within a broader tariff heading, permitting more precise goods description and classification. Examples include CN sub-headings in the EU tariff nomenclature (six-digit HS codes extended to eight digits) or line-item breakdowns in invoices and freight documents that aggregate under a parent line. This hierarchical structure enables finer tariff classification and more granular cost tracking.
