International Convention for Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System.
It is the identification code of goods identity in international trade, the reference classification standard for the quantitative management of goods tariff rate, and the basis for the commodity entry and exit management organization to confirm the category of goods, to carry out the classification management of goods, to review the tariff standard, and to check the quality index of goods. For example: the 2019 US-China trade war 300 billion goods list, in fact, refers to the list of commodity code, all the goods are presented in the form of code; belonging to the goods in the code directory is the object of striking goods. Background of HS codeHS code code of the respective meanings
The internationally recognized HS code consists of 2-digit code, 4-digit code, and 6-digit code of the numerical composition. The code above the 6-digit code and the corresponding commodities are customized by each country, and our country adopts the 10-digit code. Because it is impossible to exhaust all commodity classifications, HS provides for a "6-digit code and corresponding commodities to be determined by each country" as an underlining clause. First, the two-digit code represents the "chapter". ***98 Chapters Third, the four-digit code represents "Heading" (Heading), HS*** has 1241 four-digit tariff lines Fourth, the six-digit code represents "Subheading" (Subheading), HS has 5113 six-digit subheadings, and HS has a total of 5113 six-digit subheadings. 5113 six-digit subheadings. Internationally, it is generally 6 digit code to represent an object item. For example, the 10-digit HS code for smartphones in China is 8517 1210 90, and the international code is 851712 for cell phones. HS code*** has 22 categories and 98 chapters.The categories are set up to facilitate the search and classification of the catalog, the chapter is the commodity code itself is part of the composition.
HS code code writing rules and find methods
1, writing rules
HS code writing rules, I personally summarized as based on the division of natural sciences, the use of the five ladder progression method for classification. There are two major disciplines in the world, one is natural science and the other is social science. The natural sciences study the material laws of nature, and the social sciences study the relationships between people in human society. Commodity code points to the object is mainly to the natural sciences as the object of study. The five-step ladder method is based on the degree of commodity processing and the level of gradient, each gradient represents a deeper level of processing of its commodities, the more the catalog category after the arrangement, the deeper the level and degree of processing of its commodities. Starting from the first chapter of the code of the original existence of plants and animals in nature, to ores, chemicals and other artificial mining and processing of primary materials, and then to plastics, chemical fibers, glass and other thermal processing, hardware forging, stamping and other cold processing, and later machinery, electronics, instruments, transportation equipment manufacturing group, to the final nameless and unclassified goods of the bottom of the terms. Five-step classification example: on the oil industry chain chart animals and plants and other living things buried in the ground, after thousands of years of sedimentary evolution, slowly evolving changes in oil, obviously, according to the class chapter note check belongs to the fifth category of underground minerals, in the fifth category of 27 chapters have been specifically set out to find out: 2709 for the HS code code for petroleum crude oil. Oil from refining to decomposition of the output of different categories of decomposition Oil is very legendary After the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, the dollar became a pure credit currency , and this currency needs to bind itself to a commodity that the whole world needs, in order to continue to play an important role in the settlement system of world trade. The role of the Obviously, there is only one commodity that meets this need: oil, which is known as the blood of industry. With the dollar to the oil settlement, and then the dollar for the purchase of U.S. Treasury bonds and weapons so that the dollar continues to flow back to the U.S. domestic, constituting a complete dollar - oil cycle, which also laid the dollar's hegemony for decades. Of course, it also explains the position of oil. Now, as long as there is an oil-producing countries to put forward the settlement of oil without the dollar, that is touching the interests of the United States.Oil is the one that starts the whole body, any international crude oil turbulence will cause global political and economic fluctuations.
2, HS code how to check?
First of all, the general rules of categorization, categorization rules of the total *** six: General rules of categorization of the six General rules of categorization of the six summarized: 1, rule 1 to find the scope of the rules of the second tariff heading understanding, rule 3 tax code selection, rule 4 bottom line terms, rule 5 packaging, rule 6 subheading notes 2, rules one to four is a logical order, but the priority of the previous one, but the first one is to use the first one, but the first one is to use the first one, but the first one is to use the first one. Priority is given to the first one, but the two rules are parallel and juxtaposed. 3, rules five and six are independent of each other, and the first four have no logical relationship. In fact, most of the categorization can be guided by rule one. Rules two, three and four are mainly for similar products, mixtures, two substances synthesized rules. Rule V is mainly about packaging, rule VI is mainly to coordinate the above a few can not solve the bottom of the pocket, generally do not use rule VI.Based on the rules to find the method: rule one of the basic solution to our daily work in most of the goods (that is, directly turn over the code book to the relevant chapters), China's manufacturing industry in the transformation and upgrading, basically around 84 (machinery and equipment) and 85 chapters (electronic products) open intellectual property, primary raw materials from 39 chapters of plastics and fifteen types of base metals, as well as The primary raw materials are plastics from Chapter 39, base metals from Chapter 15, and electronic components from Chapter 85. Labor-intensive industries such as clothing and footwear have moved to Southeast Asia. Bulk primary raw materials are basically strategic resources that have nothing to do with our normal business activities. So now the focus of code checking is all a bit more on the chapters mentioned above.
And then to the specific chapter categorization details:
HS code code categorization chapter, class detailed chartLooking for the method (3 steps):
1, according to the rules (a), to confirm that the goods belong to the chapter, the category. 2, in accordance with the entry to determine the distribution of specific items of goods 3, and finally based on the classification rules to determine the final code of goods.Note: Of course, the general rules of categorization (a) is only to facilitate the establishment of the search, not an absolute basis.
The following chart of these goods is relatively easy to categorize the wrong part of the classification, separate out to give a reference. In particular, 20 categories of 96 chapters and 22 categories of goods.
According to the general rules of categorization (a) is not easy to determine the commodity code Understand the classification rules of the commodity code, in the relevant work, especially on the code to find some ease. There are some processing trade enterprises, this has a pre-approval conditions, that is, trade enterprises will carry out specific import and export business before the Customs and Excise Department must apply for registration of the ledger (here is a quote on the accounting of a professional word), in fact, is the mouth of the Customs broker's handbook for the record, the purpose of this handbook for the record is to summarize based on the commodity code of the specific goods, and then to the Customs and Excise Department for the record to stay in the bottom of the register. Summarize the process of many enterprises is actually a commodity code on the material number of the relationship between the confirmation of the merger. This step is done, your material table, finished product table, consumption relationship table will be finalized. In this way, you will be the product of the input-output relationship with the commodity code for the index is expressed, you can apply to the Customs and Excise Department for the record of the handbook registration. Registration through, the enterprise can carry out specific import and export business. This is about processing trade enterprises. On the commodity code reasonable and appropriate categorization, for the enterprise customs clearance is crucial. Commodity code categorization method used properly can help enterprises to avoid non-essential monitoring of the risk of miscontact, can be doubled and tripled to improve the efficiency of customs clearance, save the cost of customs clearance, enhance the credibility of the enterprise and the image of the customer to win the trust.Related laws and regulations: "Chinese People's Republic of China **** and the State Customs Law" and "Tax Rules" and "Import and Export Tariff Commodity and Item Notes".
