The products are classified according to the International Harmonized System (HS). This product classification covers more than 5000 different products, which are described in 96 chapters.

Each chapter (covering a general area, e.g. Chapter 69 - Ceramic Products) is further divided into headings and subheadings. Numerical HS codes with 2, 4 and 6 digits are used to describe the various levels of this hierarchical classification.

 

Note: The terms products, goods, commodities, and merchandise are considered synonymous and are largely used interchangeably, although the term “product” is the one employed.
