What are Commodity Codes and why are they so important in international trade?
They are based on an international classification system, developed by the World Customs Organisation, to help with the identification and treatment of goods as they are imported and exported around the globe.
The World Customs Organisation HS Nomenclature, which is revised every five years, forms the basis of the UK Trade Tariff and our commodity coding system. 2022 sees the introduction of the latest HS Nomenclature so you need to check how this may impact on your business.
The correct classification of your goods is imperative and there are a set of rules which should be used to determine this. Who in your organisation is responsible for classifying your goods? When were they last checked? Do you realise that you can only use the codes in the UK Trade Tariff for both exports AND imports?
Join us for this interactive session where we will explore the rationale for this coding system, how to classify your goods, and where to find the most up to date information.
