The Harmonized System (HS) is used worldwide for the uniform classification of goods traded internationally and has been accepted by all contracting parties of the Harmonized System Convention. The new HS 2022 edition makes some major changes to the Harmonized System with a total of 351 sets of amendments covering a wide range of goods moving across borders.
The tables correlating the 2017 and 2022 versions of the Harmonized System (HS) were drawn up by the World Customs Organization Secretariat in accordance with instructions received from the Harmonized System Committee.
In addition to this, a new toolset was developped “to allow different stakeholders (e.g. customs and trade officials, statisticians, lawyers, researchers, etc.) to track the changes of particular headings or subheadings across different versions of Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS)”.
Every year, Annex I of the basic CN Regulation (Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff) is updated. The new regulation Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/1832 of October 12, 2021 was published on October 29, 2021 in the Official Journal of the EU. A revised version followed on November 19.
