- Harmonized Commodity
Description and Coding System
- A multipurpose international goods-classification for manufacturers.
Transporters, exporters, importers, customs officials, statisticians,
and others in classifying goods moving in international trade
under a single commodity code. Developed under the auspices of
the Customs Cooperations Council (CCC), an international customs
organization in Brussels, this code is a hierarchically structured
product nomenclature containing approximately 5,000 headings and
subheadings describing the articles moving in international trade.
It is organized into 99 chapters arranged in 22 sections. Sections
encompass an industry [ (e.g., Section XI, Textiles and Textile
Articles); chapters encompass the various materials and products
of the industry (e.g.: Chapter 50, Silk; Chapter 55, Manmade Staple
Fibers; Chapter 57, Carpets).] The basic code contains four-digit
headings and six-digit subheadings. (The U.S. will add digits
for tariff and statistical purposes.) In the US duty rates will
be the 8-digit level; statistical suffixes will be at the 10-digit
level.
