Reference: HS and Service codes

Overview

An HS (Harmonized System) code is an internationally standardized numerical code that classifies traded products, used by customs around the world to categorize goods for import and export, developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO). In the UAE, HS codes follow the GCC Integrated Customs Tariff (12 digits, HS 2022 based, no separators).

A Service Accounting code (UN CPC Version 2.1) classifies services.

An HS code (hs_code) is required when the item's commodity_code is G (goods) or B (both), while a Service Accounting code (service_accounting_code) is required when the commodity_code is S (services) or B (both). This is applicable in the following endpoints:

The same lists are also available via the GET /resources/hs-codes and GET /resources/service-codes endpoints.

HS Code Files

The CSV file containing HS codes is accessible here.

You can download the file programmatically. Below is an example using CURL via terminal:
```
curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/namiri-tech/docs-rdme-ae/refs/heads/v1.0/assets/hs-codes.csv" > hs-codes.csv
```
The JSON file containing HS codes is accessible here.

You can download the file programmatically. Below is an example using CURL via terminal:
```
curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/namiri-tech/docs-rdme-ae/refs/heads/v1.0/assets/hs-codes.json" > hs-codes.json
```

Keep the code column as text when opening the CSV in a spreadsheet, so leading zeros (e.g. 010121100001) are not stripped.
