A. HS Code is the Customs Code, the abbreviation of the Harmonized System of Codes, its full name is the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System. HS Code "harmonization" covers the "Customs Co-operation Council Tariff Code Commodity Classification Directory" and the United Nations "International Standard Classification of Trade" two major classification and coding system is a systematic, multi-purpose international trade commodities classification system. It is a systematic and multi-purpose international trade commodity classification system.
It is not only used for customs tariffs and trade statistics, but also provides a set of international trade commodity classification system for the billing of transported commodities, statistics, computerized data transmission, simplification of international trade documents, and the use of the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) tariff codes.
Two, China's commodity code **** there are 10 digits. Commodity code respectively expresses the specific meaning: for China's commodity code code, by 690, 691, 692 three prefix code composed of the EAN-13 code has the following two structures: the structure of the type, manufacturer identification code, commodity item code, check code.
Structure I X13X12X11X10X9X8X7X6X5X4X3X2X1;
Structure II X13X12X11X10X9X8X7X6X5X4X3X2 X1;
Note: Xi (I=1-13) indicates the ith digit code from right to left; GB12904-1998 also specifies structure III, but it is not yet used for coding.?
The codes of the above two structures are composed of three parts, i.e. vendor identification code, commodity item code and check code. The vendor identification code is compiled by the China Article Numbering Center in accordance with national standards by adding 4 or 5 digits to the prefix code assigned by EAN for the unique identification of the vendor.?
The commodity item code is the code, including 5 or 4 digits, for the commodity items of the enterprise by itself on the basis of the vendor identification code that has been obtained by the enterprise, in accordance with the provisions of the national standard, for the enterprise that has obtained the membership of the commodity bar code system approved by the China Article Numbering Center.
Expanded information:
I. The main role of the HS code:
From January 1, 1992, China's import and export tariffs using the World Customs Organization's "Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System" (HS). Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System" (HS for short), the system is a scientific and systematic international trade commodity classification system, the use of six-digit code, applicable to tax rules, statistics, production, transportation, trade control, inspection and quarantine and other aspects.
At present, more than 98% of the global trade volume uses this catalog, which has become a standard language of international trade. China's import and export tariff rules using ten-bit code, the first eight equivalent to the use of HS code, the last two are our subheadings, which is based on the principles and methods of HS classification, according to China's imports and exports of commodities in the actual situation of the extension of the two-bit code.
Second, the principle of commodity coding:
1, uniqueness Uniqueness refers to the commodity item and its identification code one-to-one correspondence, that is, a commodity item has only one code, a code only identifies the same commodity item. Commodity item code once determined, never change, even if the commodity stops production, stop supply, in a period of time (some countries provide for 3 years) shall not be assigned to other commodity items of the code.
2, meaningless meaningless code refers to the code number itself and its location does not indicate any specific information about the goods. In the EAN and UPC systems, the commodity code is simply a means of identifying the commodity, rather than a means of classifying the commodity. Meaninglessness gives commodity code the advantages of simplicity, flexibility, reliability, full utilization of code capacity, vitality, etc. This coding method is especially suitable for larger commodity systems.
3, all-digital In the EAN and UPC system, commodity code all use Arabic numerals.
