Commodity codes (also called tariff, taric, CN, HTSUS or HS codes) are numbers to categorize goods for the customs authorities. If used correctly, they shorten your delivery time and reduce the risk of unpleasant surprises, such as penalty fees or your packages getting completely stuck and rejected by customs. A commodity code consists of 6, 8, or 10 digits. The EU requires ten digits for import declarations and eight for export declarations. Other countries may require more or fewer digits. Commodity codes are based on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, an international system used by over 200 countries as a basis for customs purposes and trade statistics.

• The first two digits indicate the commodity chapter in the customs tariff; the first four digits represent the heading of the international HS code; and the first six digits are known as the HS subheading.
• The EU has expanded the HS code into eight-digit commodity codes known as the "Combined Nomenclature," which serves as the EU customs tariff used for classification purposes.
• The EU has further built upon the Combined Nomenclature by adding an integrated tariff known as TARIC. TARIC consists of ten-digit commodity codes. This makes it possible to link regulations—such as those concerning anti-dumping measures, licensing, and duty suspensions—to the Combined Nomenclature.

As an importer or exporter, you are responsible for ensuring your goods are correctly classified. This applies even if you engage an agent to handle the declaration. Declaring an incorrect commodity code can result in paying too little or too much in customs duties, or failing to obtain a required import permit for the goods.
