Code of a goods category in the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System of the World Customs Organization (WCO), used for customs tariffs and international trade statistics. A chapter has two digits, a heading four and a subheading six. The WCO writes headings as 01.01 and subheadings as 0101.21; trade databases such as UN Comtrade write the same codes without dots (010121). National tariffs add digits to the six-digit subheading, for example the EU Combined Nomenclature (eu_cn_code) and the US HTS (us_hts_number). The WCO publishes the nomenclature in editions such as HS 2022, and the meaning of a code depends on the edition.
