Correctly Grasp The HS Classification Principles Of Textile And Garment Industry

HS generally classify the commodities of the same industrial sector or related industrial sectors into one category. For example, the second category (6-14 chapters) is the plant products, the sixth category (28-38 chapters) is the chemical industry and the related industry products; the eleventh type (50-63 chapter) is the textile industry product. Some chapters are self-contained. For example, the fifteenth chapter (third category) is the oil industry product; the ninety-third chapter (Nineteenth class) is the military industrial product; the ninety-seventh chapter (ninety-seventh class) is the product.

。

Generally speaking, different raw materials are included in different chapters. For example, woven fabrics are classified into fiftieth chapters (silk fabrics), fifty-first chapters (wool fabrics), fifty-second chapters (cotton fabrics), fifty-third chapters (linen fabrics), and fifty-fourth chapter (artificial silk fabrics) according to their raw materials.

Metal products are also classified into seventy-third chapters (iron and steel products), seventy-fourth chapter (copper products), seventy-fifth chapter (nickel products), seventy-sixth chapter (aluminum products), Seventy-eighth chapter (lead products), seventy-ninth chapter (zinc products) and eightieth chapter (tin products) according to their raw materials.

Goods made of the same raw materials are generally arranged in the same chapter.

For example, plastics and their products are in the thirty-ninth chapter.

And its products in the fortieth chapter, glass and its products in the seventieth chapter.

Goods in the same chapter are arranged according to the degree of processing from raw materials to finished products.

That is, raw materials - Blank - Semi-finished - finished products.

The deeper the degree of processing, the better the item number of the merchandise will be.

For example, the forty-fourth chapter of "wood and wood products" is based on fuel wood (44.01) -- logs (44.03) -- rough processed wooden sticks (44.04) -- sawn wood (44.07) -- plywood used for plywood (44.08) -- plywood (44.12) - wooden products (44.15--44.21) in sequence sequence is divided into 21 items.

So is the arrangement between chapters and chapters.

The more complex the degree of processing, the more goods go back.

For example, the activity is in the first chapter, the fresh meat is in the second chapter, and the meat preservation is in the sixteenth chapter.

The living tree is in the sixth chapter, lumber is in the forty-fourth chapter, wooden toys are listed in the ninety-fifth chapter, and wooden handicrafts are arranged in the ninety-seventh chapter.

Because of the complexity of the type and nature of the goods, it is impossible to categorization all commodities according to their raw materials, especially those made up of various raw materials or highly processed industrial products, such as precision instruments, optical instruments, aerospace crafts, handicrafts and artworks.

Therefore, many chapters are divided according to the use of commodities, and the material used is not considered.

For example, down garments, feather quilts, badminton and feather duster do not belong to the sixty-seventh chapter (feather, down products) according to the raw materials they use, but are classified into sixty-second chapters according to their respective purposes.

The ninety-fourth chapter (bedding), the ninety-fifth chapter (rest products) and the ninety-sixth chapter (miscellaneous products).

In addition, the carpets like the 57 chapter, the footwear of the sixty-fourth chapter and the ninety-fifth chapter of toys do not consider their raw material structure, and a single chapter is made according to their purposes.

In order to make people dispute on the classification of goods, HS also annotated each category, chapter and even items and sub items.

These annotations are the basis for determining the final attribution of goods, as well as the item clauses, which are known as "statutory annotations". In contrast, the titles of categories and chapters are not legally binding on the classification of commodities, but only for the convenience of inspection.

Understanding this is very important for correct access to HS coding.

For example, the title of the twenty-second chapter is "beverage, wine and vinegar", while the chapter notes clearly indicate that "this chapter does not include acetic acid solution with acetic acid concentration of more than 10% by weight" (item 29.15).

From the above analysis, we can see that the classification principle of HS is based on the source of raw materials, combined with the degree of processing, the purpose and the layout of the industrial sector.

The raw materials come from the main line of layout, and the degree of processing and usage are

。

The main and auxiliary lines complement each other, plus the "statutory Annotation", so that people can quickly and accurately determine the location of their products in the thousands of commodities that HS involves.

This is precisely the scientific and systematic nature of the HS classification.
