The GCC has moved to 12-digit HS codes for all imports and exports. This isn't optional – it's a regulatory requirement that affects customs clearance, VAT, duty calculations, and compliance across the entire Gulf region.
Using the wrong HS code can delay your shipment, trigger inspections, result in fines, or get your cargo rejected entirely. This platform helps you classify products correctly the first time.
Accurate classification isn't just paperwork. It's what keeps your goods moving. Incorrect HS codes lead to:
If you're importing or exporting in the GCC, getting the HS code right is no longer negotiable.

You get accurate 12-digit HS codes for all six GCC countries, built into a fast and searchable system that fits real import-export workflows. It's not a generic directory – it's designed for businesses that need precision and speed.
This platform is built for anyone involved in cross-border trade:
If your business touches goods that cross GCC borders, you need reliable HS codes.
The platform is optimized for high-volume searches and built to integrate with ERP systems, logistics platforms, and trade marketplaces. As GCC customs regulations continue to evolve, your classification tools need to keep pace.

The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) is a global standard for classifying products. Developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO), it's used by over 200 countries and economies as a basis for their customs tariffs and for the collection of international trade statistics.
The system comprises about 5,000 commodity groups, each identified by a six-digit code. These codes are organized into 97 chapters, grouped into 21 sections.
An HS code is typically a six-digit number, but countries often extend it for more specific classifications (e.g., 8, 10, or even 12 digits).
