A classification aid, not tariff advice
These are the 6-digit international subheadings from the World Customs Organization Harmonized System (2022). They are common worldwide, but each country adds further digits and sets its own duty rates, so the final code and any duty must be confirmed against the destination country’s official tariff.
An HS code classifies the goods. It does not replace the licences, permits or screening a regulated shipment needs, and for a controlled substance the code is only the beginning.
