When used within customs declarations the commodity can be sometime described in a general way or there could be the case that the commodity is not precisely classified (a new one), this way the user can just specify the upper group of commodities. In few words all the hierachy could be selectable, not only the leaves. The taxonomy change every year, mainly to include new commodities and rarely to add a new group. The code list version MUST be specified when a value is used (NC 2008) Moreover this codelist is used on the DAU/SAD Customs Declaration used in Europe (Single Administrative Document) and into many other shipping documents like the vessel manifest and transport documents. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from this mail list, you must leave the OASIS TC that > generates this mail.
