HS Code (Harmonized System Code)

An HS Code (Harmonized System Code) is a standardized numerical system used worldwide to classify traded products. It helps customs authorities identify and manage goods efficiently, ensuring correct tariffs and regulations are applied. Each code typically has six digits, but can be extended for more detail. For example, electronics, textiles, and machinery each have distinct HS Codes. This system promotes smooth international trade by providing a common language for identifying products, reducing confusion, and facilitating accurate documentation and pricing across borders.
