Today, these tariff and commodity classification systems are known as the Harmonized System (HS) for Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System. The HS is the international standard for reporting goods to customs and other government agencies. Globally adopted by 180 countries and covering 98% of merchandise trade, the HS has been administered by the Brussels-based World Customs Organization (WCO) since 1988.
