WCO Announces Additional Changes, Corrections to 2022 Harmonized System
January 25, 2021 |World Customs Organization

The World Customs Organization announced additional changes to the upcoming 2022 edition of the Harmonized System that were recently agreed upon as corrections and amendments to the initial text announced in January 2020 (see 2001290033). The additional changes include corrections throughout the classification scheme, as well as amendments to chapters 21, 24, 26, 29, 67, 84, 88 and 97. While the latest version of the HS, released every five years, takes effect Jan. 1, 2022, these additional amendments will not be binding until Jan. 1, 2023, though parties to the HS are “encouraged” to apply them beginning in 2022, the WCO said.

WCO Releases Correlation Tables for Upcoming 2022 HS Tariff Changes
November 16, 2020 |World Customs Organization

The World Customs Organization on Nov. 13 released correlation tables comparing the upcoming 2022 version of the Harmonized System tariff schedule with the 2017 version. “While not legal instruments, the Correlation Tables have become essential tools for Members and the wider trade community in preparing for the introduction of a new edition of the HS. These tables provide guidance on the correlations between the Seventh Edition of the Harmonized System (HS), which comes into force on 1 January 2022 and the current HS 2017 (Sixth Edition) of the HS,” the WCO said. One of the two tables correlates the 2022 version with the 2017 version, and includes explanations of any changes. The other sets the correlation starting from the 2017 version to the 2022 version, the WCO said.
