What is the difference between an HS code and a TARIC code?

HS code (Harmonized System)

The HS code is an internationally standardised system of the World Customs Organization (WCO). It covers the first six to eight digits of a tariff number and classifies goods worldwide. More than 200 countries use it.

TARIC code (EU customs tariff)

The TARIC code (Tarif Intégré des Communautés Européennes) is the European extension of the HS code and has ten digits. Digits nine and ten govern EU-specific measures such as duty rates, anti-dumping rules, import quotas and trade statistics.
