Overview & methodology
Reading a 6-digit HS code
The first two digits identify the Chapter, the next two the Heading, and the final two the Subheading. Countries append additional digits: EU CN uses 8, US HTSUS uses 10, India ITC(HS) uses 8, China uses 10. Duty rates, safeguard measures, anti-dumping duties and preferential quotas all attach at national-code level - not at the 6-digit international HS code.
Classification precedence - GRI 1 to 6
Classification follows the six General Rules of Interpretation in order. GRI 1: classify by heading terms and section/chapter notes. GRI 2(a): incomplete/unassembled articles keep the finished article's heading if they have its essential character. GRI 3: mixtures classify by (a) most specific heading, (b) essential character, (c) last in numerical order. GRIs 4-6 handle akin goods, packing and subheading level.
Frequently asked questions
What is an HS code?
The Harmonized System code is a 6-digit international commodity classification maintained by the World Customs Organization. Countries add 2–4 more digits for their tariff schedule (e.g. US HTS 10-digit, EU CN 8-digit, TARIC 10-digit).
Are the first 6 digits of the HS code the same everywhere?
Yes. The first six digits are harmonized under the WCO's Harmonized System Convention (over 200 countries). Digits 7–10 are country-specific for duty rates and statistical suffixes.
