The Harmonized System (HS) is an internationally standardized system of names and numbers to classify traded products. Developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO), it's used by over 200 countries for customs tariffs and international trade statistics.
HS codes consist of 6 digits at the international level. Individual countries may add additional digits for further classification (up to 10 digits in the US).
First 6 digits are internationally standardized. Last 2-4 digits are country-specific.
