Definition

Official key corresponding to the harmonized system for the description and coding of merchandise.

Depending on the system settings, this field contains either the commodity code or the customs tariff number (import code number).

The commodity code is used for statistical purposes and must be declared to the authorities for various foreign trade transactions, both import and export transactions. Examples include INTRASTAT and EXTRASTAT declarations in the European Union or the Automated Export System (AES) in the USA.

The customs tariff number classifies goods according to the harmonized system for the description and coding of merchandise and serves to determine customs duties. You must declare this number to the customs authorities for every import transaction.
