Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System

HS Code is the international Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System. The system was developed in 1983 by the World Customs Organization and came into effect on 1 January 1988.

The International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System is servicing as the fundamental document of this system.

The system allows all countries to maintain a unified classification of the names of all goods sold in international markets according to international rules and interpretations. It is a universal basis for collection of international trade statistics and customs tariffs of all countries.

Customs authorities use the HS codes for collection of duties, taxes and application of regulations to goods related to international shipping.

Each commodity is assigned a 6- or 10-digit code, which is used for customs operations such as declarations or the collection of customs duties. The HS Code forms the basis for Customs tariffs, Customs statistics and non-tariff measures. It allows for the correct maintenance of foreign trade statistics and unambiguous determination of the rates of charged duties.

The CIS countries use the CN FEA code (Commodity Nomenclature of Foreign Economic Activity), which is almost identical to the HS Code.
