Isn't this available already under the Foreign Trade Data tab on the material master? This is where we store this data in the field

Commodity Code/Import Code Number for Foreign Trade
Official key corresponding to the harmonized system for the description and coding of merchandise.
Depending on the system settings, this field contains either the commodity code or the customs tariff number (import code number).
The commodity code is used for statistical purposes and must be declared to the authorities for various foreign trade transactions, both import and export transactions. Examples include INTRASTAT and EXTRASTAT declarations in the European Union or the Automated Export System (AES) in the USA.
The customs tariff number classifies goods according to the harmonized system for the description and coding of merchandise and serves to determine customs duties. You must declare this number to the customs authorities for every import transaction.

Subject: Harmonized Tariff Code

Hello fellow users!

One of our product groups has expressed the need to capture the Harmonized Tariff Code. I had never heard of this before and have found some information on the internet but I have an SAP specific question. Is this something similar to a UPC or EAN code? Should it be added into one of the fields on the "Foreign trade export" tab in material maintenance or should it be under "Additional EANs" tab in "Additional data" or someplace else?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you
