HS Classification Rules 1 to 6 Demystified
The General Interpretative Rules (GIRs)
The Harmonised System  and its General Interpretation Rules
Rules on resolving ambiguity in classification are needed for consistent results in classification systems.
A major goal of the HS was to establish a global classification system that facilitated consistency and predictability in classification.
However, a nomenclature covering all possible goods is invariably a complex system with multiple possibilities for classifying many goods. So a set of rules that give a compulsory method of classification is essential to facilitate consistency and predictability.
