The Harmonised Commodity Code (NHM) is based on the international Harmonised System (HS) used to describe and code goods in international trade and was published by the World Customs Organization (WCO). It also contains railway-specific content in chapters 27, 98 and 99. The NHM forms an important basis for conducting international freight traffic.
