HS Code structure
1. Chapter
There are 21 different sections, which are divided into 96 chapters. Exceptional chapters include chapter 77, which is reserved for future use, chapters 98 and 99, which are limited at national level, and chapter 99, which is a specific code for temporary changes. In the example above, chapter 28 was selected for inorganic chemicals; organic or inorganic compounds of precious metals, of rare-earth metals, of radioactive elements or of isotopes
2. Heading
The heading determines the specific category within a certain chapter. In the example above, the 11 refers to Other inorganic acids and other inorganic oxygen compounds of non-metals.
3. Subheading
The last two digits of the international harmonized code are more specific and define subcategories of products. In the example above, the 11 refers to Other inorganic acids.
