What is an HS Code?
An HS Code, short for "Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System," is an international standard for the classification and coding of goods established by the World Customs Organization. This coding system is widely used globally to facilitate international trade by using a unified system of classification codes. An HS Code typically comprises six digits, with each pair of digits representing a different level of product categorization, ensuring accurate and consistent classification of goods internationally.
How to Look Up and Interpret HS Codes?
How to Look Up HS Codes?
HS Codes can usually be looked up through the following means:
-Customs websites: Most countries' customs or foreign trade departments provide online lookup services.
-Professional trade data websites: Such as Trade Map and Global Trade Helpdesk, among others.
-Business consultancy services: Acquiring assistance through professional trade and customs consultancy services.
How to Interpret HS Codes?
Each pair of digits in an HS Code has a specific meaning:
-First two digits: Describe the chapter of the HS code, which is the broad category, such as 09 for coffee, tea, spices, etc.
-Middle two digits: Provide a more specific description of the goods, a smaller category.
-Last two digits: Further refine the product information, offering the most specific classification.
For example, HS Code 0901.21 is used to describe unroasted coffee beans without their husks.
