Search by code or by description
Sometimes you know the product but not the code. Sometimes you have a code, from a customs form, a supplier invoice, a tariff schedule, but no idea what it actually covers. JapanTradeStatistics.com offer as part of the statistics, also a code search feature. It handles both directions equally well: search by keyword to find the matching HS code, or search by code to get the full official description. Keyword search works in 15 languages, so you're not stuck guessing at trade-English either.
It is AI translated, 15500 codes, into 15 languages. Translation might not be 100% accurate, but as the initial search, it is a powerful tool.
​
Know your HS codes!!
Look up any HS number
Pull a number off a customs document or a partner's paperwork and get the official description, no more treating codes as opaque strings you copy without understanding.
Find the code when you only know the product
Know it's "frozen salmon fillets" or "wheat" but not the classification? Type the product, get the code.
Search in your own language
Keyword search works across 15 languages, so you don't need to translate a product into trade-English first just to find the right classification.
Catch related codes
Catch related codes you didn't know existed. A single product can be split across several HS codes by material, grade, or processing method. Description search surfaces the full set, not just the one you happened to guess.
Use it in analysis on the platform
Once you've confirmed or found the right code, you're already on the platform, filter, chart, and analyze that code immediately instead of taking it elsewhere first.
