    PREFACE

    Administration and maintenance of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding

    System (the Harmonized System or HS) is the main activity of the WCOs Nomenclature

    Sub-Directorate.

    The Harmonized System (HS) is the most widely applied goods nomenclature in international

    trade. During the years 2001 to 2010, 36 more countries have acceded to the Harmonized

    System Convention, bringing the total number of Contracting Parties to 138 as of 1 December

    2010. There was also considerable increase in the application of the HS by non-Contracting

    Party administrations. According to the information available on 1 December 2010, 204

    Countries, Territories and Customs or Economic Unions (including HS Contracting Parties)

    are using HS-based Customs tariffs or statistical nomenclatures.

    Worldwide application of the Harmonized System is a source of great prestige for the WCO.

    Maintaining the HS successfully, particularly ensuring its uniform application throughout the

    world, is a challenging task for the Harmonized System Committee and the WCO Secretariat

    (Nomenclature Sub-Directorate).

    Against that background, this publication will undoubtedly constitute a useful work of

    reference. The WCO hopes that you will find it of interest.

    1. INTRODUCTION

    During its 27th to 46th Sessions (i.e., from 2001 to 2010), Harmonized System (HS) Committee

    has taken decisions on the classification of quite a number of commodities. This booklet is a

    summary of these decisions and consists of two parts, namely:

    - Cases where classification decisions have been taken without reference to specific

    headings (#1 to #5);

    - Cases where classification decisions have been taken with reference to specific headings

    (#6 to #259).

    The decisions listed in this booklet are set out in the order of the headings and subheadings of

    the HS. In case there are two or more commodities classified in the same heading or

    subheading, the decisions are listed in chronological order.

    The HS Nomenclature entered into force in 1988. Subsequent amendments to the

    Nomenclature introduced under the 1992, 1996, 2002 and 2007 editions may have affected

    decisions taken under an earlier edition. In such cases, the newly applicable heading or

    subheading is mentioned only where the HS Committee clearly indicated the new

    classification.

    In the column "CLASSIFICATION RATIONALE AND OBSERVATIONS", the Secretariat has

    reproduced only those parts of documents / reports which it considered relevant.
