How to find an HS code
- Search. Enter a product keyword (e.g. "coffee") or an HS code / prefix.
- Pick the match. Choose the most specific 6-digit subheading that fits your product.
- See the hierarchy. View how the code rolls up from its section and chapter to the subheading.
How an HS code is built
A Harmonized System code reads in pairs, each pair narrowing the product. The first two digits are the
chapter — 97 broad groups such as Coffee, tea, maté and spices (09) or Vehicles
(87) — themselves organised into 21 sections. The first four digits are the
heading, and all six the subheading, the most detailed level that is standard
worldwide. So 090121 unfolds as Coffee, tea, maté and spices (09) → Coffee
(0901) → coffee, roasted, not decaffeinated (090121). Because those six digits mean the
same thing in every member country, an HS code is the common language customs authorities use to recognise a
product regardless of what it's called or which language the invoice is in.
HS, HTS and the extra digits
The six-digit HS code is where international agreement stops. Individual countries append their own digits for finer tariff and statistical detail: the United States uses a 10-digit HTS number, the EU an 8-digit Combined Nomenclature, and so on — but every one of them begins with the same six HS digits this tool resolves. That's why classifying for an actual shipment is a two-step job: find the correct 6-digit HS subheading here, then look up the destination country's remaining digits in its national tariff schedule. Getting the HS level right first is what makes the rest line up.
HS 2022, and what this tool is — and isn't
This tool uses the HS 2022 edition, the current revision, taken from the public WCO / UN Comtrade dataset — all 6,939 entries from the 21 sections down to the 5,613 six-digit subheadings, bundled so search runs entirely in your browser. It is a classification aid, not customs advice: the correct code can turn on product details, material and use, and the duty you'll pay depends on the full national tariff line, the country of origin and any trade agreements. Treat the result as your starting subheading, then confirm the classification and rate with the destination country's customs authority or a licensed broker. To classify a business by industry rather than a product for trade, use the NAICS code lookup.
Frequently asked questions
- The Harmonized System code is a 6-digit number that classifies a traded product. It is maintained by the World Customs Organization and used by 200-plus countries to assess customs duties and record trade statistics. This tool searches the full HS 2022 nomenclature.
- It reads in pairs: the first two digits are the chapter (broad category), the first four are the heading, and all six are the subheading — the most specific level shared internationally. For example 090121 is chapter 09 (coffee, tea, spices) → heading 0901 (coffee) → subheading 090121 (coffee, roasted, not decaffeinated).
- The first 6 digits are the international HS code, identical worldwide. Countries then add their own digits: the US HTS uses 10 digits, the EU CN code uses 8. This tool covers the shared 6-digit HS level; your customs broker or the national tariff schedule provides the extra country-specific digits.
- The HS 2022 edition, the current revision. The HS is updated roughly every five years, so a handful of codes differ from HS 2017; codes retired in the 2022 revision are not included.
- No. The 6-digit HS code is the starting point, but duty rates are set nationally against the full country-specific tariff line (8–10 digits) and depend on origin, trade agreements and product details. Confirm classification and rates with the destination country’s customs authority or a licensed broker.
- No. The entire HS 2022 nomenclature is bundled with the page, so every search runs in your browser with nothing transmitted.
