🎫 HS Commodity Code

An HS code is a Harmonized System commodity classification number that categorizes traded goods for customs, tariffs, and statistics. It matters because it reveals what is actually moving in a shipment, exposes misclassification used to evade export controls or sanctions, and links trade flows across countries.

Format: 6-digit WCO HS heading (chapter 2 + heading 2 + subheading 2); extended nationally to 8-10 digits (HTS US, CN codes EU, Schedule B). Numeric, dot-optional (e.g. 8542.31).

📡 How it is collected

• Declared code on bill of lading / customs entry
• Invoice and packing-list line items
• Product description-to-code classification
• Trade-statistics database queries
• Export-license and dual-use control matching
• Broker and freight-forwarder filings
