The Harmonized System (HS) code is an international nomenclature for classifying traded products. It consists of 6 digits and is used by over 200 countries worldwide.

Why do I need the correct HS code?

The HS code determines the customs duty rate, import regulations, prohibitions and restrictions, and statistical reporting requirements. An incorrect code can lead to duty demands, penalties, or seizures.

How do I find the HS code for my product?

Use our AI-powered search: describe the product in English or German. The finder analyzes material, function, and use and suggests matching HS codes.

Is the HS code the same for all countries?

The first 6 digits (HS code) are identical worldwide. Countries may add more digits: EU uses 8-digit CN codes, Switzerland uses 8-digit codes, USA uses 10-digit HTS codes.

Can the HS code finder make mistakes?

The finder provides suggestions based on AI analysis and database. Final classification should be confirmed with a binding tariff ruling (BTI) or customs declarant for high-value shipments.
