The World Customs Organization assigns a six-digit code to goods in international trade, and national tariffs are based on this core.
2. The structure of HS-6
- 2 digits — Fa Delete(2)
- 4 digits — Position four.
- 6 digits — HS-6 subheading (6)
Example: 6109.10 ¢ cotton knit shirt. The same HS-6 applies in every country; it only changes after the 6th house.
3. National extensions
Countries add digits for statistics and tax rows:
- TR GTİP-12 — Turkey-only national extension of HS-6 (12 digits)
- US HTS-10 — Harmonized Tariff Schedule (official file)
- GB UKGT-10 — UK Trade Tariff (official snapshot)
- EU CN-8 — Combined Nomenclature (official snapshot)
- EU TARIC-10 — CN-8 + 00 baseline (measures separate)
- BR NCM-8 — Siscomex NCM (official API)
- AU / CA / NZ / JP / SG — HS-6 rooted coverage until full official bulk is wired
