Understanding HS Codes: A Quick Primer

HS codes (Harmonized System codes) are internationally standardized product codes used for customs classification. The first 6 digits are generally consistent worldwide, while additional digits can vary by country. Here's how they generally break down:

• Chapter (First 2 digits): Broad category of goods (e.g., 73 = Iron or Steel)
• Heading (Next 2 digits): More specific category within the chapter (e.g., 7308 = Structures and parts thereof)
• Subheading (Next 2 digits): Even more specific (e.g., 7308.90 = Other)
• Further subdivisions: Provide even greater detail.

• April 2, 2025: Be aware of the upcoming tariff changes.
• Certifications: Depending on the material and intended use, you may need certifications (e.g., RoHS for electrical components, material safety data sheets).
• Consult a Broker: I strongly recommend consulting with a licensed customs broker in your country. They can provide definitive guidance based on your specific product and import regulations.
