Are HS codes and HTS codes the same?
HS codes (Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System) and HTS codes (Harmonized Tariff Schedule) are related but not the same. HS codes are a standardized 6-digit system used globally to classify various commodities, developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO); whereas HTS codes are specific to a country/territory (e.g., the United States) and consist of 7 to 10 digits. Both HS codes and HTS codes are used to determine the customs duties and taxes that apply to imported goods. The first 6 digits of the HTS code match the HS code, while the additional 4 digits provide further classification relevant to a specific country/territory.
