Adoption of expanded customs classification code unifies commodity classification across trade agencies to streamline trade procedures. An 8 digit customs classification code, based on the six digit Harmonised System and subdividing certain entries to eight digits, will replace the current six digit code from 1 February 2003 for commodity classification only; headings, sub headings and notes remain unchanged, the change does not affect duty rates or importability, and the code will be adopted uniformly by Customs, DGFT and DGCIS to harmonize classifications and enable computerized data sharing.
