Remarks

Unique code representing this commodity line item (for imports only).

The World Trade Organization has classified all commodities with a number. This number is called a Harmonized Schedule code and ranges from six to 12 digits depending on the country. However, the first six digits of this number are more or less uniform throughout the world. Customs uses the HS number to determine the import duties, taxes and import license requirements for goods entering a country. This number is required for filling in the Customs documentation.

It is applicable to Invoice, Partial Invoice and NAFTA CO. Required for NAFTA CO and optional for Partial Invoice. For NAFTA CO: For each good described in CommodityDescription, identify the Harmonized Schedule (HS) tariff classification using the one of the country into whose territory the good is imported. This number must appear on import documentation that accompanies a shipment.

If the shipment contains non-documents item(s) (i.e., the Documents is set to False), the CommodityHarmonizedCode is optional to be entered for each commodity line item included in shipment. At least one occurrence is required for U.S. Export shipments if the TotalCustomsValue is greater than 2,500 USD or if a valid U.S. Export license is required.

The size of the array is controlled by the CommodityCount property.

This property is not available at design time.
