If you are in the business of exporting and importing goods, you would be familiar with the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System, better known as the Harmonised System (HS) or Harmonised System of Nomenclature (HSN). It is a universally accepted method of classifying traded goods. Its main function is to help customs authorities identify products and assess the right duties and taxes on them. In the Harmonised System, each product is assigned a unique numerical code called the HS code. This code has a minimum of six digits and can typically go up to 10 digits (though China has a 13-digit code).

What is harmonized system?

A way to identify any product with a 6 digit code

First 2 digits identify the chapter the product falls into

The next 2 digits identify a heading with that chapter

The last 2 digits denote a sub-heading making it more specific

There is an example on the right

Coffee

HS Code: 090111

Chapter: Coffee, Tea, mate & Spices

Heading: Whether or not roasted or decaffeinated, coffee husks and skin, coffee substitutes containing coffee in any proportion
