1、 Firstly, let me introduce you to the concept of HS CODE:
⭐HS The Harmonized System Code is an abbreviation for the Harmonized System, developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) for the classification and identification of goods.
⭐ It is a widely used universal standard in international trade for commodity classification and statistics.
⭐ It is also an international system for standardized commodity classification, facilitating customs taxation, supervision, and statistics.
2、 [HS encoding rules]:
① The first six digits of the HS code are globally standardized and applicable to all countries participating in the WCO.
② The following digits may vary from country to country: each country can refine the following digits according to their own needs. China uses an extended ten digit code, which is mainly used for more detailed classification of goods.

③ Consistency of the first six digits: The length of the code varies, but the first six digits are consistent globally and usually do not affect customs clearance at the destination port and the port of origin.
3、 Exporting and importing countries may have different HS codes:
Because each country may expand or refine its HS code according to its own needs.
⭐ When exporting, the exporter assigns an HS code based on the nature of their product and customs requirements for declaration. The formal practice for insurance is to classify products by tax number through a third-party organization recognized by customs;
⭐ When importing, the importer needs to use the HS code of the importing country for customs clearance according to its customs requirements.
