CHANGES IN FORTHCOMING ISSUES


AUSTRALIAN HARMONIZED EXPORT COMMODITY CLASSIFICATION

Statistical codes in the Australian Harmonized Export Commodity Classification (AHECC) and the Customs Tariff will be revised with the January 2012 issue of this publication. The changes result from the implementation of an update to the international Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System. The changes will not impact directly on the presentation of statistics in this publication but will impact on detailed import and export statistics provided via the ABS Information Consultancy Service.

More information about these changes is available from the ABS website in the Information Paper: Changes to AHECC and Customs Tariff, 2012 (cat. no. 5368.0.55.017). Included with the information paper are correspondences between the codes of the current and the updated versions of the AHECC and the Customs Tariff, and correspondences between the updated versions of the AHECC and the Customs Tariff, and related classifications. The correspondences can be used by clients to understand the impact on statistics.
