Legal Issues
Customs were the original form of international commercial law. As we have seen in the history of lex mercatoria, the customs existed before any statute of commercial law was made and were often the basis for legislation.(1)
Customs in International Trade
Meaning of Customs, according to the Dictionary of International Trade (Global Negotiator): A government authority designated to regulate flow of goods to/from a country and to collect duties levied by a country on imports and exports. The term also applies to the procedures involved in such activities.
HS 6-digit in International Trade
Meaning of Hs 6-digit, according to the Dictionary of International Trade (Global Negotiator): The World Customs Organization's Harmonized System (HS) uses code numbers to define products
. A code with a low number of digits defines broad categories of products; additional digits indicate sub-divisions into more detailed definitions. Six-digit codes are the most detailed definitions that are used as standard. Countries can add more digits for their own coding to subdivide the definitions further according to their own needs. Products defined at the most detailed level are "tariff lines". See Harmonized System (HS).
Concept of Customs
An introductory definition of Customs is provided here: Fees, tariffs, tolls, or duties required and collected by a nation state on imports or exports of goods.
