Code Systems Included

  • Harmonized System - The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (or Harmonized System, HS) is a system for classifying goods in international trade, developed under the auspices of the Customs Cooperation Council. Beginning on January 1, 1989, the new HS numbers replaced previously adhered-to schedules in over 50 countries, including the United States.
  • SITC Rev.3 - The SITC was developed by the United Nations in 1950 and is used solely by international organizations for reporting international trade. The SITC has been revised several times; the current version is Revision 3.
  • SIC - The SIC was, until 1997, the classification standard underlying all establishment-based U.S. economic statistics classified by industry. Replaced in 1997 by NAICS (below).
  • End-Use - A variant of the HSC, with a focus on the end-use of the commodity.
  • NAICS - The North American Industry Classification System is the new standard code system to describe business establishments and industries, replacing the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes.
