Background• Why reduce the existing coding structure?• More difficult to maintain the present HS System.• Difficult to ensure quality of trade data. • Increase in the number of codes increases the
complexity of the system and therefore more difficult to interpret and administer.
• Opportunity to streamline the system by investigating obsolete codes due to new technology or other reasons, and correct past oversights etc. Therefore, making it a classification that is more efficient and less cumbersome.
• Opportunity to remove low use codes.

Project Phases1) Identify Possible codes for deletion
2) Communication with stakeholders
3) Resource Identification
4) Implementation
![Page 9: Imports HS Reduction Proposal](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070419/56815b07550346895dc8b6a0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Identify possible codes for deletionConsiderations:
• Data Exchange•WCO requests (e.g. ozone, chemical weapons, narcotics)•Previous data user requests•Current data user purchases•Codes created for statistical processing
Possible Criteria:
•Low Value
•Obselence
