Q: Is HS code 90318020 the same across all countries?

Only the first 6 digits of HS code 90318020 are internationally harmonized. The remaining digits are added by Germany under CN / TARIC / EZT and are not directly comparable to other countries' codes.

Q: What system does Germany use to classify HS code 90318020?

Germany classifies products under the Combined Nomenclature / TARIC (CN / TARIC / EZT; locally Kombinierte Nomenklatur / Warenverzeichnis für die Außenhandelsstatistik (EZT)), which extends HS codes to 11 digits. The first 6 digits align with the WCO Harmonized System, and the rest cover national tariff and statistical needs.
