Tariff Classification Service

Commodity codes, also known as Tariff codes, are a globally recognised means of identifying imported and exported items for customs purposes. 

​

It is crucial to select the right commodity codes, as they will determine:​

• the rate of VAT and duty to pay,

• whether the duty is suspended,

• whether any licences are required.

​

Tariff Classification is the process of assigning a numerical code to a product according to nationally recognized customs tariffs or other recognized classification schemes, such as the Harmonized System (HS). These codes are used for customs purposes and provide information about the type, composition, and intended use of the items.

​
