Correlation table

Also called: concordance table · transposition table

A table that links codes of one nomenclature edition to the codes of the next, or links one nomenclature to another. It shows where a former code went when it was split, merged or moved. Customs administrations publish such tables whenever the HS or the national tariff changes.

In practice

It is the quickest way to update product files and to check whether a binding ruling still covers the same goods after a code change.
