Documents & HS codes

The customs headings this catalogue ships under, and what paperwork travels with a lot.

HS codes in this catalogue

Read from the live catalogue, so it cannot drift from what is actually listed. These are the headings our products sit under; the full classification for your entry depends on your own tariff schedule and is your broker's call, not ours.

HeadingCategoriesProducts

348 active products are not classified yet and are left out of this table.

A heading is not a specification. Two products under the same heading can need different documents in the same market.

What travels with a lot

  • Certificate of analysis (COA)

    Test results for one specific lot, referenced by the lot code printed on the sack. Issued per lot, mainly from third-party laboratories.

  • Certificate (CERT)

    Export and origin documentation for the shipment, prepared against the destination market.

Both are lot-specific and both are released against a verified trade account, alongside the quotation they belong to. That is why there is no download button on this page: a certificate detached from its lot proves nothing, and a generic one published for search engines would be worse than none.

Open a trade account, ask the desk for the product and volume you are considering, and the documents arrive with the quotation for the lot being offered.

Documents your market requires

Destination markets differ in what an importer has to hold. Tell the trade desk the market and the intended use at the specification stage, and what can be supplied is answered in writing before an order rather than at shipment.
