NEUTAUR/Data Glossary/HS Code (Harmonized System)

HS Code (Harmonized System)

The Harmonized System is the international standard for classifying traded goods, used by customs authorities and UN Comtrade worldwide.

The Harmonized System (HS) is a standardized numerical method of classifying traded products, maintained by the World Customs Organization and used by more than 200 economies. An HS code identifies a category of goods — for example, integrated circuits, uncoated paper, or piped natural gas — at increasing levels of detail (2-, 4-, and 6-digit).

How NEUTAUR uses it

When NEUTAUR labels a physical trade signal, it uses the official HS product name from UN Comtrade rather than a paraphrase, and the HS code appears as a footnote. This keeps every trade label traceable to an authoritative source instead of an internal interpretation.
