HS Code

Also known as: Harmonized System Code, Pakistan Customs Tariff Code

HS Code

An HS Code is the 8-digit Pakistan Customs Tariff code (format 1234.5678) used to classify goods. The first six digits follow the international Harmonized System; the last two are specific to Pakistan. Every item on a digital invoice must carry the correct HS code, because it determines the sales tax treatment and the units of measure FBR accepts for that item. FinSmart looks up HS codes from FBR reference data.
