What is customs tariff?
In order to facilitate international trade, a coding system has been considered for the classification of goods, which assigns a 6-digit code to each product according to the global standard. This code is called HS code or customs tariff.
The customs tariff code tells a lot of details about the goods. By means of such a code, it is possible to understand the type of product; It is also possible to find out whether the goods are included in the category of goods allowed for import or export, or for example, what licenses are needed for its import and how much are the customs duties?
It should be noted that according to the laws of each country, customs tariffs, along with the duties and customs duties of the goods, are published in a book in chapters every year. In Iran, the determination of the customs tariff is the responsibility of the government.
