Changes to imports/exports classification list (harmonised system)
The Commissioner of Customs and Excise announces that amendments have been made to the Hong Kong Imports and Exports Classification List (Harmonised System), 1992 Edition.
These amendments, gazetted on December 23, will take effect from Sunday (January 1).
Importers and exporters are reminded that import and export declarations for shipments on or after January 1 must be completed in accordance with the amended classification.
The amendments involve addition of Republic of Palau and its code number into the country classification, and changes in the classification of commodities such as stones used in construction and toys.
The changes to the classifications of the commodities are to bring them up-to-date by introducing more appropriate sub-classifications and deleting unnecessary sub-classifications.
Importers and exporters are requested to ensure that their staff responsible for completing import and export declarations should familiarise with such amendments.
Copies of the amendment list are now obtainable free of charge at the following addresses:
Government Publications Centre, Queensway Government Offices,
Low Block, G/F, 66 Queensway, Hong Kong
Customs and Excise Department, Collection Office (Hong Kong), 2/F, Harbour Building, 38 Pier Road, Central, Hong Kong
