Harmonized System (HS) Codes

Comprehensive HS codes for products frequently exported from Vietnam. HS codes are used by customs authorities worldwide to classify products for tariffs and trade statistics.

Understanding HS Codes

The Harmonized System (HS) is an international nomenclature developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) for the classification of products. It allows participating countries to classify traded goods on a common basis for customs purposes.
