HS Code: Section VI “Products of the Chemical or Allied Industries”
Updated : 2023-01-31 (2022 edition)
The HS Code composed by 6 digits is used to facilitate global trade by providing unified categories to classify various types of goods, and this harmonization is intended to reduce the costs occurred during international trade.
The system comprises approximately 5,300 commodity groups, which are divided into 21 Harmonized System Sections and 99 Chapters (Chapters 98 and 99 are not specified, to allow for national use). The Sections and Chapters can be found on the website of the World Customs Organization (WCO).
The core HS Code is composed of 6 digits. The first two digits indicate the chapter the good belongs to. The middle two digits specify the heading which indicates the category within the chapter. The last two digits identify the sub-heading which designates the more specific subcategory the product is categorized in.
Countries that have adopted the Harmonized System may use up to 10 digits in their codes, with specified additional digits for national purposes.
The HS Committee of the WCO amends the HS every 5-6 years. The latest amendment is the HS Nomenclature 2022 Edition
(see here).
Chemicals and chemical products are listed in the Section VI of the Harmonized System. There are 11 chapters related to chemicals and chemical products (Chapters 28 to 38). Inorganic substances and organic substances are usually classified in Chapter 28 and Chapter 29. Chemical mixtures are generally classified in Chapters 30 to 38 based on their intended usage.
