MOIAT has notified conformity-assessment stakeholders that the HS Code is now mandatory for all new applications and certificate requests. Applicants must provide the correct and complete HS Code together with the required supporting documents when submitting their applications.

The new requirement is intended to ensure accurate product classification and facilitate the review and processing of conformity applications. Companies should therefore verify the HS Code for each product before submission and ensure that it is consistent with the product description and supporting documentation.

Key point: Failure to provide the correct or complete HS Code may result in additional clarification or delays in application processing.
