Do all countries/territories have the same HS code?

HS code provides an internationally recognized standard for classifying goods in international trade. However, some countries/territories may expand the 6-digit code for further classification. It is important to understand these variations and apply a correct code when importing and exporting goods.


Examples of variations to HS code: 

  • 10-digit Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS or HTS)
  • 6- and 8-digit ASEAN Harmonized Tariff Nomenclature (AHTN)
  • 8-digit Australian Harmonized Export Commodity Classification (AHECC)
  • 8-digit Hong Kong Harmonized System (HKHS)
