Edition of the Harmonized System: the product-specific rules of CUSMA Annex 4-B were written against the 2012 edition (HS 2012). This release applies them to codes of today’s tariffs, which follow the 2022 edition (HS 2022), without transposing them (open question OPEN-06). Where a code was created, split or renumbered after 2012, check the rule against the official text.
