Commodity ( HS ) Codes
When trading internationally, you will need to know the correct commodity code for your goods in order that customs paperwork can be completed accurately.
The code is an eight-digit number for exports to outside the EU or goods moving within the EU, but constitutes a ten digit number for imports from outside the EU.
Once you know the commodity code, other important information such as duty rates, licenses and any other import or export restrictions can quickly be identified.
A commodity code, also known as a HS code (Harmonized System Code) is a ten-digit number allocated to goods to classify imports.
Every product will fall under a specific code – this commodity code dictates your duty rating, as well as alerts you to any import or export restrictions. Your commodity code tells you:
-
The duty and VAT rates you’ll be charged for your goods
-
If you can apply for a preferential duty rates
-
If your product requires an import license
-
Whether anti-dumping duties apply
