Harmonized System Code (HS Code)

 The Harmonized System (HS) is an internationally standardised system used to classify traded goods. It is maintained by the World Customs Organisation (WCO) and forms the basis of customs tariffs worldwide.

The HS uses a 6-digit code structure to identify products, which is then expanded by individual countries to create more detailed national commodity codes for import and export purposes.

Using the correct HS code ensures the accurate application of customs duties, VAT, and any restrictions or controls on goods.
