Commodity Pre-Classification for Chemicals (HS Code)

Harmonized System (HS) Codes and Commodity Pre-Classification

HS code is the abbreviation of Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, which is the basic element for global customs and commodity entry and exit management agencies to confirm commodity categories, conduct commodity classification management, review tariff standards, and inspect commodity quality indicators. The HS code is applicable to many aspects such as tax rules, statistics, production, transportation, trade control, inspection, and quarantine. At present, more than 98% of global trade volume currently uses this directory, which has become a standard language for international trade.

Before exporting or importing chemical products to China, it is necessary to carry out commodity pre-classification to confirm the HS codes of chemicals. This is conducive to legal import and export, speeding up the customs clearance of goods, and also helps enterprises to standardize their customs declaration behavior, accounting in advance for the customs duties and other taxes payable, and accurately applying for various permits.
