Correlation table of the HS02 to SITC, Rev.3



A correlation table (HS02S3) of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, 2002 version, (HS02) to the Standard International Trade Classification, Revision 3 (SITC, Rev.3) has been prepared by the United Nations Statistics Division to assist countries in conversion of trade data compiled in terms of the HS02 to the SITC, Rev.3.

The correlation table can be downloaded in the following formats:

  CSV (Comma Separated Values) file

  Microsoft Excel 97 file


Notes to the correlation table of the HS02 to SITC, Rev.3

  • Column "HS02" contains all 5224 six-digit codes of the HS02.
  • Column "HS~History" indicates the year when a code was introduced into the HS.
  • Column "SITC, R3" contains the SITC, Revision 3 codes to which the HS02 codes are correlated.
  • Column "CorrNotes" provides information regarding the SITC, Rev.3 codes listed in the "SITC, R3" column as follows:
    • R3 a basic code whose scope entirely includes the scope of the corresponding HS subheading;
    • R3F a basic code whose scope partially includes the scope of the corresponding HS subheading;
    • R3A a higher level code whose scope entirely includes the scope of the corresponding HS subheading;
    • R3AF a higher level code whose scope partially includes the scope of the corresponding HS subheading;
    • I and II: the HS codes not correlated with the SITC, Rev.3.


Counts of labels in "HS~History" and "CorrNotes" columns are given in the table below.

102 basic SITC, Rev. 3 codes are not correlated with the HS02 (76 of these are not correlated with HS96 either) due to significant changes in the HS classification criteria as compared with the original HS88. These codes are:
