China New 13-digit HS code Structure Introduction

Commodity Description and Coding System, also known as the
Harmonized System (HS) of tariff nomenclature is an
internationally-standardized system of names and numbers to
classify traded products. It came into effect in 1988 and has
since been developed and maintained by the World Customs
Organization (WCO) (formerly the Customs Co-operation Council),
an independent intergovernmental organization based in Brussels,
Belgium, with over 200 member countries.
There are 8~12
digit numbers of a full code. To ensure harmonization, the
contracting parties must employ at least 4-digit and 6-digit
provisions, international rules and notes, but are free to adopt
additional subcategories and notes.
China joined the HS Harmonized System on January 1, 1992, at
present, China is using 10 digits HS code;
From August 1, 2018, the China Customs Commodity HS Code has
been changed from the original 10-digit HS code to the new
13-digit HS code ; the first 8-digit is the Commodity HS code of
"Import and Export Tariff of the People's Republic of China" ;
