HS commodity code / TARIC
The commodity codes are based on The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, an international system that more than 200 countries use as a basis for customs purposes and trade statistics.
The first four digits are called HS numbers, the first six are called HS subheadings. In addition to HS numbers and sub-numbers, we in the EU have increased the figures to eight. These eight-digit commodity codes are called the "combined nomenclature" and are the EU tariff to be used for classification.
The EU has built on the combined nomenclature with a tariff called Taric. Taric consists of ten-digit commodity codes. This makes it possible to link provisions on, for example, anti-dumping, licensing and suspension of duties with the combined nomenclature. As an importer or exporter, you are responsible for ensuring that your goods are correctly classified. This also applies if you hire a representative who makes the declaration. If you have declared an incorrect product code, it may mean that you have had to pay too little or too much in customs or that an import permit may be required for the product.
