PREFACE

Administration and maintenance of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding

System (the Harmonized System or HS) is the main activity of the WCOs Nomenclature

Sub-Directorate.

The Harmonized System (HS) is the most widely applied goods nomenclature in international

trade. During the years 2001 to 2010, 36 more countries have acceded to the Harmonized

System Convention, bringing the total number of Contracting Parties to 138 as of 1 December

2010. There was also considerable increase in the application of the HS by non-ContractingParty administrations. According to the information available on 1 December 2010, 204

Countries, Territories and Customs or Economic Unions (including HS Contracting Parties)

are using HS-based Customs tariffs or statistical nomenclatures.

Worldwide application of the Harmonized System is a source of great prestige for the WCO.

Maintaining the HS successfully, particularly ensuring its uniform application throughout the

world, is a challenging task for the Harmonized System Committee and the WCO Secretariat

(Nomenclature Sub-Directorate).

Against that background, this publication will undoubtedly constitute a useful work of

reference. The WCO hopes that you will find it of interest.

1. INTRODUCTION

During its 27thto 46thSessions (i.e., from 2001 to 2010), Harmonized System (HS) Committee

has taken decisions on the classification of quite a number of commodities. This booklet is a

summary of these decisions and consists of two parts, namely:

- Cases where classification decisions have been taken without reference to specific

headings (#1 to #5);

- Cases where classification decisions have been taken with reference to specific headings

(#6 to #259).

The decisions listed in this booklet are set out in the order of the headings and subheadings of

the HS. In case there are two or more commodities classified in the same heading or

subheading, the decisions are listed in chronological order.

The HS Nomenclature entered into force in 1988. Subsequent amendments to the

Nomenclature introduced under the 1992, 1996, 2002 and 2007 editions may have affected

decisions taken under an earlier edition. In such cases, the newly applicable heading or

subheading is mentioned only where the HS Committee clearly indicated the new

classification.

In the column "CLASSIFICATION RATIONALE AND OBSERVATIONS", the Secretariat has

reproduced only those parts of documents / reports which it considered relevant.
