Tariff classification is crucial for businesses involved in international trade. It helps prevent undervaluation of goods, avoids fines and penalties, and ensures compliance with customs authorities. The World Customs Organisation (WCO) has developed a Harmonised System (HS) that is used by over 200 countries to achieve uniform tariff classification. The HS system helps lower the costs of international trade by harmonising trade and customs procedures. The HS codes vary in length, with 6 digits being the global standard, but some regions require codes up to 10 or 12 digits for imports. For exports, an 8-digit code is typically required.
