The Harmonized (Commodity Description and Coding) System, also known as the HS code, is a classification scheme that assigns each piece of merchandise an own number made up of a series of six digits. The commodity is then classified by customs using this special number.

Basically, the HS code:

• Unique six-digit identification code

• Organised into 21 sections and 99 chapters

• More than 5,000 commodity groupings in total

• Structured according to strict legal and logical parameters

• Defined by rules that support consistent, and uniform global classification.
