HS / CN code
Also known as: Harmonized System · Combined Nomenclature
Customs classification that decides whether a shipment is a relevant product under Annex I.
What it means
HS is the international Harmonized System; CN is the EU Combined Nomenclature that extends it. EUDR scope is expressed in CN codes in Annex I.
In the regulation
Operators classify products as for customs. If the CN code is listed in Annex I for a relevant commodity, due diligence applies to that product as placed or exported.
How ERWAY treats it
Guides and the commodity scope explorer look up codes against the same Annex I map the articles cite.
