2023 nomenclature updates impact HS code allocation

In the cross-border world, January 1 goes hand in hand with nomenclature updates for HS code allocation. Make sure you are up to date. ??

?? What does it mean?

Even though the first 6 digits of an HS code are standardized, countries can extend codes with their own nomenclatures. Many major markets around the globe like the EU, UK, US, Canada, or GCC published new versions of their nomenclatures, in vigor from January 1, 2023.

?? What changes in the new versions?

Codes can become invalid, and new ones can be added. The EU nomenclature significantly changed with around 300 10-digit codes becoming invalid, and about 300 new codes.

?? What should I do?

If you are manually allocating HS codes, you should make sure that you are using the latest versions of the nomenclatures to avoid incorrect declarations and customs delays.
