NHM-Codes

To simplify logistical tasks, all types of goods are provided with their own clear NHM code. We will help you to determine the correct code.

With NHM-Codes (NHM = „Nomenclature Harmonisée Marchandises – Harmonised Goods Directory“) every individual type of good can be clearly assigned. If you do not know the NHM code of your goods or do not have it to hand at the moment, you can find it using the NHM code overview files, which you can download below.

You will quickly find the relevant code using the goods sector, goods group and goods type.
Conversely, the assignment of the type of goods is possible by entering the code via the Excel search function. The search function is available in German and English.
