HS Transpositions

Schedules need to be frequently updated in order to reflect changes in the tariff classification under the Harmonized System, which periodically undergoes amendments.  This so-called "transposition" of the goods Schedules is required in order to be able to compare Members' obligations with the tariffs that are actually applied by a national customs administration.

Status of HS Transpositions by Member

In this page you can access the overview of the HS transpositions by Member. The information is classified as follows:

• PA:  the Schedule of concession is annexed to a Protocol of Accession
• Pending:  the HS transposition is pending under any of the steps prior to submission through the 1980 Procedures
• Under 1980 Procedures:  the HS transposition has concluded and the Schedule has been submitted under the 1980 Procedures.  The specific status is indicated on the table (under 3-month period, reservations, etc)
• Certified:  the Schedule resulting from the HS transposition has been certified

Withdrawn procedures are not counted. n/a denotes that the transposition under a particular HS version is not required.
