HS codes and tariff classification for China imports
The HS code underpins customs classification, potential measures and statistical reporting. A plausible code on the supplier’s invoice is not a binding classification.
Function, material, processing, composition and intended use are often more important than the commercial name. These details should be available before clearance.
02
HS codes and EU nomenclature
The first six digits are internationally harmonised; further digits may be required in the EU for customs and trade measures.
03
Establish certainty appropriately
Where classification is unclear, binding tariff information or a specialist review may be appropriate. General website information does not replace either.
