How China HS codes work
- HS6 is the international Harmonized System subheading, the same in every country.
- China HS8 adds two national digits. It is the code in China's tariff schedule and customs statistics.
- 10 and 13 digits appear on customs declarations and inspection records. Trade figures stop at HS8.
The catalogue follows China's 2026 tariff edition. Codes added this year are in the 2026 new China HS code list.
China HS codes vs other countries
Only the first six digits are shared. From the seventh digit on, each country subdivides on its own, so a US or EU code never maps one-to-one onto a China HS8, even when the digits look the same. The lookup reads the shared HS6 from a foreign code and lists China's codes under it for you to choose from.
| System | Digits | Example (lithium-ion batteries) |

| US HTS | 8 tariff, 10 statistical | 8507.60.0020 |
| EU CN / TARIC | 8 CN, 10 TARIC | 8507 60 00 |

FAQ
Is a China HS code the same as a US HTS code?
Only the first six digits match. Both build on the international HS6; China adds two digits for its 8-digit code and the US adds four for its 10-digit HTS statistical code. Compare the shared HS6, then choose the China code that describes the product.
What is the difference between HS6 and HS8?
HS6 is the internationally comparable subheading. HS8 is China's national subdivision of it, used in the tariff schedule and customs statistics. One HS6 can contain one or several China HS8 codes.
Does China use 8, 10 or 13 digits?
China's tariff schedule and trade statistics use 8 digits. Customs declarations add two more digits (10 in total), and 13-digit codes add three inspection and quarantine digits. Trade figures are searched by HS6 or HS8.
Where does the trade data behind each code come from?
From China customs (GACC) statistics, by month, partner country and trade flow. Each code links to its free data page, and published HS6 and HS8 selections can be ordered as a CSV file.
