  25. Waste and scrap does not include agricultural or food waste and scrap, which is primarily classified in SCTG 041, "Cereal straw or husks, forage products, residues and waste from the food industries used in animal feeding, and eggs and other products of animal origin n.e.c.". A separate class has been created for garbage, SCTG 41901, since the metal, glass, and wood components cannot be identified as the waste categories of SCTG 41 require. In addition, these other components have some inherent value, where as the garbage does not.
  26. Some most-detailed SCTG categories contain HS or SCG components that, in theory, apply to more than one SCTG category, but which, in practise have been "forced" to what was deemed to be the single-most appropriate SCTG category. As an example, see HS 0204.50, "Meat of goats [including frozen]" is forced to SCTG 05111, which is fresh meat.

Archived – Standard Classification of Transported Goods (SCTG)

Introduction

The Standard Classification of Transported Goods (SCTG) consists of a blend of transportation characteristics, commodity similarities, and industry-of-origin considerations, designed to create statistically significant categories. It is a structured list that is defined at its less-detailed levels according to the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS), and at more-detailed levels, according to patterns of industrial activity. Other factors in the definition of categories were transportation considerations such as volume, revenue, value, origin, and destination.

SCTG is a Canada-U.S. initiative, designed to provide categories for the 1997 U.S. Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) and to improve the integration of Canadian transportation data, particularly for marine, truck, and rail. The classification is also designed to permit comparison of Canadian and U.S. transportation data. In addition, because of its HS basis, SCTG can be used for other international comparisons. SCTG is an important development in the creation of an integrated system of classification that is used for economic analysis, covering production, shipments, and international trade.

Currently, Canadian transportation data are compiled according to three different classifications. The Standard Commodity Classification (SCC), which is the former Statistics Canada commodity standard, continues to be used for rail and truck data, whereas marine data for several years have been based on the Standard Classification of Goods (the SCG, which is Canada's extension of the HS). In addition, rail and truck data are not grouped in the same way, because truck data are based directly on the SCC, whereas rail data are obtained by converting to the SCC the Standard Transportation Commodity Code (STCC) of the Association of American Railroads (AAR). Truck data and most marine data are collected by Statistics Canada according to the detail provided on shipping documents and grouped into a few hundred categories. In contrast, Statistics Canada receives only aggregated rail data.

The U.S. used the STCC for the collection and publication of 1993 CFS data, but it was inadequate, because, among other weaknesses, STCC is primarily a rail-carrier-based classification. The CFS, however, is a shipper survey that collects information about commodities shipped by all modes, as well as intermodal movements. The SCTG has been designed to provide commodity groupings that better reflect goods transported by all modes.


Classification Structure and Data Significance

The structure of the SCTG is hierarchical, consisting of four levels that contain groupings based on HS or SCG "building blocks". These groupings are designed to create statistically significant transportation categories. The SCTG follows the classification principles that each level covers the universe of transported goods, and that each category in each level is mutually exclusive. These levels range from a minimum of 42 categories to a maximum of 512 categories.

The structure of the SCTG is hierarchical, consisting of four levels that contain groupings based on HS or SCG building blocks.
Level of Hierarchy Number of Categories
First (2-digits) 42
Second (3-digits) 137
Third (4-digits) 291
Fourth (5-digits) 512

The first, or two-digit, level consists of 42 HS-based categories, and is designed to provide analytically-useful commodity groupings for those users who are interested in an overview of groupings of transported goods. Where possible, these categories consist of industry-of-origin groupings within HS definitions.

The second, or three-digit, level consists of 137 HS-based categories. At this level, the categories consist of goods for which very significant product movements are expected to be recorded in both Canada and the U.S., thus providing the best basis for Canada-U.S. comparisons. There are two exceptions to the use of HS categories at the three-digit, or international, level. The first exception relates to non-food waste products (SCTG 41). In most cases, the HS identifies such waste, but where it does not, SCG detail was used to group these products. The other exception is for refined petroleum and coal products (SCTGs 17-19), which are defined according to SCG details in order to compensate for the lack of international agreement about useful sub-headings of HS 27.10.

The third, or four-digit, level consists of 291 HS- or SCG-based categories. This level of the SCTG is designed to create categories that reflect industry patterns and transportation characteristics that are often not provided for in HS categories. Data-wise, these categories are more important than those of the most-detailed level of the SCTG, and often consist of portions of HS categories as defined by SCG detail. It is likely that Canada will only use a selection of four-digit SCTG categories, because of confidentiality, insignificant data, or data-reliability issues.

The fourth, or five-digit, level consists of 512 HS- or SCG-based categories. This level, which often consists of SCG detail, is the collection level for the CFS, with each category designed to capture significant data that reflects industry patterns and transportation characteristics. For multimodal Canadian data, only some of the five-digit categories will be used, because many of these categories will yield only insignificant data. For data relating to single modes, however, more of the five-digit categories will be useful. In Canada, this level is not a collection level, but the first possible level of aggregation of the micro detail obtained from shipping documents for marine and truck transport. For rail data, the aim will be to continue to receive data obtained from the detailed STCC categories, but aggregated according to the SCTG. The richness of detail at this five-digit level is sufficient to accommodate those situations where a Canadian product is relatively more important to Canada than it is to the U.S., particularly where it is difficult to track shipments from one country to the other.

The SCTG is defined by HS or SCG codes only at the three-, four-, and five-digit levels, for presentation purposes. Many of the 42 categories at the two-digit analytical level would be defined by only one or a few codes. Others, however, would require extensive lists of codes, which are not as useful in defining the contents of these less-detailed categories as they are for the more-detailed distinctions.

Although the blend of the criteria used to create the SCTG resulted in four different levels of categories, many of the categories are identical at more than one level. One grouping--"Pharmaceutical Products" (SCTG 21)--is even identical at all four levels. In this case, four different criteria coincide at each level. The most-detailed, or collection, level corresponds to an industry-of-origin grouping, which is identical to an HS category that, in turn, is identified as an analytically useful product description.

For Canadian use only, the SCTG includes an additional category (42), which is subdivided into 4 three-digit categories that are further disaggregated into 16 categories. The first of the three-digit categories relates to mail and parcels. The contents of parcels cannot be identified, nor can the contents of mail other than items such as advertising flyers. It should be noted that, in the CFS, mailed parcels constitute one of the seven modes for which commodity information is collected. The contents of the second category, "Trailers on flat cars (TOFC), containers on flat cars (COFC), and other shipping containers, returned empty", are identified, but constitute transported goods for which there are no associated direct revenues, in that they are a cost of the provision of transportation services. The third category, which consists of unidentified freight or cargo, is associated with revenues, but the generally smaller size of the individual shipments results in their assembly with other small shipments in containers, thus forming a grouping that is impractical to identify by component. The fourth category relates to "Goods on company service". This covers significant movement of goods, which are owned by the transporting company and do not generate revenue. This might include the movement of service equipment to service rail cars in need of repair.


Classification According to Transportation Characteristics

The combination of the HS and SCG provides many thousands of categories to use as building blocks in the development of a standard classification of transported goods. Data significance was used to select appropriate categories for the SCTG, starting with the most aggregative categories and working down to the most detailed categories, according to the criteria of significance established for each of the four levels. The creation of SCTG categories was usually done by selecting from the structure of the HS or SCG (i.e., by using HS or SCG categories), or by grouping HS or SCG categories to form more significant categories. Both the individual categories or their groupings within the structure tend to follow industry lines, because each most-detailed category of the HS generally contains only the outputs of a single industry (although there are many exceptions), and transportation of these products is based on the characteristics of these products. Sometimes, however, SCTG categories were formed from HS or SCG categories that cut across the structure of the HS, in order to group products according to their shipping characteristics. In the SCTG, for example, raw agricultural products, such as tobacco leaves and sugar beets, were grouped because they are moved in bulk by similar kinds of transportation equipment.


Relationship to Industries-of-Origin

The more-detailed levels of the SCTG can be associated with four-digit industry classes for both the Canadian and American SICs, as well as NAICS. This is because, with the exception of residual categories, most four- and five-digit SCTG categories primarily contain the products of only one industry. This feature will facilitate comparison with industry data, as well as with other classifications based on the U.S. SIC, such as the U.S. Numerical List of Manufactured and Mineral Products (Product Codes) and the STCC.


Relationship to Other Commodity Classifications

In Canada, detailed HS or SCG categories are used to define the inputs and outputs of goods for industries as well as for classifying imports and exports. Comparison of these categories and those of the SCTG can thus be achieved by grouping such categories into the relatively few transportation categories.

In the U.S., imports and exports are HS-based, thus they can be compared to the SCTG, by grouping these much-more-detailed commodity categories into the relatively few transportation categories. For industrial commodity data, however, the U.S. uses an SIC-based Numerical List of Manufactured and Mineral Products. This list of products can only be compared to the SCTG by grouping the product codes to their SIC level, and then grouping them to their corresponding four-or five-digit SCTG categories.


Difficulties in Creating Data-Significant Categories

In developing the SCTG it was difficult to make reliable judgements about the significance of possible HS- or SCG-based categories, for several reasons. Firstly, the most-current U.S. CFS data (1993) were collected according to the STCC and only the most-aggregative-level data (48 categories) had been released at the time of the development of the SCTG. Secondly, these data could only be linked to HS categories through the use of a concordance developed by the AAR that links U.S. import categories to STCC, and the quality of this concordance had not been determined. Thirdly, Canada has good SCG-based transportation data, but only for marine. Rail data continue to be reported according to STCC categories, and truck data, according to a sample of commodities that are organized according to Canada's old commodity classification. Several years ago, SCG-based classifications had been developed for each of rail and trucking, but never used. At that time, related linkages were developed. These linkages were utilized to convert 1992 and 1994 data into proxy SCTG data. Finally, taking into account all of the relevant classifications involved in developing the SCTG, there was an enormous amount of detail to contend with. Despite all these challenges, the SCTG should provide much better data than is currently available.


Difficulties in Designing SCTG

Almost always the HS "building blocks" enabled the creation of categories that are useful for the classification of transported goods, but these categories had to recognize the limitations of the HS categories, which sometimes caused problems. For one group of products, for example, a small amount of adjustment had to be made. SCTG 32 covers metal basic shapes and 33 covers articles of metal. Many of the categories of HS Chapter 81 (the less-important base metals) have been assigned to either SCTG 32 or 33 according to SCG details. Of these SCG categories, a few consist of both basic shapes and articles, but they have been assigned to either SCTG 32 or 33, based on relative importance.

"Parts" are difficult to categorize, and it is difficult to distinguish between parts and accessories. The aim in categorizing parts was to use an approach that is as useful as possible from a reporting and identification perspective. In the SCTG, parts are normally associated with the machinery, equipment, or apparatus without which these products could not operate. This association works well for those shipments of new goods, which are often accompanied by additional parts. It also seems to work well for separate shipment of replacement parts, as their identification is usually in relation to the goods of which they form a part. Parts that are associated with a wide range of machines and equipment, however, are not easy to deal with. In such cases, the HS was used as a basis to define these parts as separate pieces of equipment in their own right (e.g., all pumps are together in SCTG, including motor vehicle fuel-oil pumps). The HS was also used to define motor vehicle parts. Despite these definitions, however, it is the respondents that ultimately have to be relied on to appropriately identify parts.

The HS generally does not make a distinction between paper and paperboard. In order to obtain industry-friendly groupings of these products, however, it was necessary to make these distinctions. SCG details were utilized, as was technical information about the products.

Agricultural products was a difficult grouping to compile, because its components are drawn from several different areas of the HS.

Both chemicals and textiles are organized differently in the HS than they are in industrial classifications. For SCTG purposes, these products were re-grouped.


Data Continuity

For users of CFS data, a concordance will be required to assist in linking the 1993 STCC-based survey results to those of the 1997 SCTG-based results. This could be done by directly comparing the two classifications, but would require many difficult-to-make decisions about the considerable number of instances where the two classifications are not compatible. It could also be done indirectly, by utilizing the AAR concordance of STCC to U.S. import tariffs, but only after the quality of this concordance has been determined. Because the AAR concordance uses the HS-extended tariff codes, it has the same basis as the SCTG categories. The immensity of this concordance, however, is a major problem, but it should be noted that its use will also be considered for data continuity purposes by Canada and for use in production of current data.

For Canadian data, the concordance that will link current data for marine transport to future SCTG-based data can utilize the fact that current data are based on the SCG. Truck data would have to be linked by a concordance that relates SCC-based truck categories to the SCTG, but it can be based on the recent work done by Transportation Division to provide proxy SCTG categories for truck data, as well as marine and rail data. This work utilized the concordances between SCC-based data for truck and rail and the SCG-based classifications for these two modes that had been prepared by Standards Division several years ago. With regard to rail data, it might be possible to link it to the SCTG by also utilizing the AAR concordance of STCC to U.S. import tariffs, rather than directly concording SCC-based rail categories to the SCTG. In any case, it will be difficult to link SCC-based rail categories because they have already been converted from STCC-based categories (in other words, a two-stage conversion of data will be required).


Changes to the HS

As of January 1988, forty-five countries first used the HS for international trade data. Canada also introduced the HS into its manufacturing data as of that year. The U.S., however, did not start using the HS for international trade data until January 1989 and is currently working on the future introduction of the HS into its manufacturing data.

As of January 1996, about 500 changes were made to the HS. These changes include new 6-digit categories, revisions to the coverage of some 4-digit categories as well as to 6-digit categories, and a chapter change for one 4-digit group of commodities. All of the 1996 changes have been incorporated into SCTG. In comparing the revised HS to its earlier version, it should be noted that sometimes the same codes continue to be used for categories that have been revised.


Hazardous Materials

The SCTG does not identify specific categories of products as being hazardous, nor does it include a special grouping of its categories under the title of "hazardous". This is because the HS does not include degree of hazardousness as a classification criterion. The STCC does, however, contain an additional listing of categories that are considered to be hazardous materials, and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has produced a list of about 3,000 categories of hazardous products, but it is not based on the HS. There is, however, a class for hazardous chemical waste products. (See waste)


Implementation of, and Possible Future Changes to, SCTG Categories

Once the SCTG has been used by the U.S. for the 1997 CFS, information about the usefulness of the various categories, particularly the most-detailed ones, will become available. This information could be used to make some minor changes, but major changes would have a serious impact on data continuity.

In Canada, the SCTG can be incorporated into marine transport statistics with the least impact on data continuity, because these statistics are collected according to SCG-based classifications. This incorporation will require a re-grouping of data obtained from the "library" of reported descriptions that had been coded several years ago to the most-detailed level possible of the SCG. The process of determination of significant categories will result in a unique version of SCTG for marine data (i.e., the categories of the standard will be adjusted when required to reflect only categories important to marine transport). A similar re-grouping will be required for truck data. Rail data should be changed as soon as possible from the current STCC-converted-to-SCC basis to a STCC-converted-to-SCG basis, utilizing the AAR's concordance of STCC to U.S. import categories. Once data are obtained for these three series, consideration could be given to making minor changes to the SCTG.

In Canada, the SCTG will also be used to produce multimodal statistics. The comparison of marine, truck, and rail data will be based on those SCTG categories that are common to these three modes. For analytical purposes, all of the SCTG two-digit categories should be included in this comparison. For Canada-U.S. purposes, and for purposes of international comparison, ideally data for all of the three-digit categories should also be made available. At the four- and five-digit levels, however, there will only be some SCTG categories for which multimodal data are available.

For U.S. purposes, the five-digit level was designed to be the collection level of the CFS, with the less-detailed levels available for analysis or publication. Because each level of the SCTG covers all transported goods, however, the more-aggregated levels might also be used to assist in data collection--particularly, the three-digit level, which is the universally defined HS level.

It is hoped that this classification will prove useful for a variety of transportation applications and will be adopted by those who find it useful for collection and analysis of transportation data.


Procedures Used in SCTG Category Descriptions

In order to achieve consistency, a number of procedures were established:

  1. HS terminology is used, unless it was deemed necessary to adjust it to reflect North American (Canada-U.S.) usage. SCTG categories that are defined exclusively by a single HS heading or subheading usually are identical to such headings, so long as they were written from a "stand-alone" perspective. The advantage of using HS terminology is that it is often defined or described in the HS Notes.
  2. Two types of identification are used for residual categories. "Other..." is used in the title of residual categories whose content is defined by the immediately higher-level category minus specified categories. Categories beginning with "other" can be found at the 3-, 4-, or 5-digit levels and are identified by codes ending in "9" or "90". "N.e.c." is used in the title of residual categories that contain products, some of which are identified elsewhere in SCTG. Categories ending with "...n.e.c." appear only at the 2-digit level.
  3. "Including... " followed by a list of examples is used extensively in the description of 5-digit categories only. The list of products following "including" are not meant to be exhaustive of the universe of the category, but to include the more important examples as well as the less-obvious ones, with the intention of providing users with an understanding of the range of products covered by the category.
  4. "Except..." is used to identify those products that could be considered to be part of a particular category but that, for SCTG purposes, are not included in the category. "Except..." is used at all levels of the SCTG, but mostly at the 3-, 4-, or 5-digit levels.

Standard Classification of Goods (SCG)

Introduction 1996

The Standard Classification of Goods (SCG) is the standard used by Statistics Canada to collect commodity data and to uniquely identify such data in data banks. It is an extension of the international Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, designed to meet Canadian requirements for extra detail.

The first published edition applied to the 1988 reference year, and the second edition applied to the 1992 year. The third edition of the SCG covers the 1996 reference year. For the years between the first two editions, the classification was updated by annual supplements consisting of replacement pages. After 1992, annual supplements were not published but available on a cost recovery basis. The standard for commodity statistics prior to 1988 was the Standard Commodity Classification which was published in 1959 and revised in 1972.

The Standard Classification of Goods provides a structure for the collection of commodity data. Survey managers select from the Standard the appropriate level of detail that is relevant for the nature of the universe surveyed and the purpose of the survey. Where the structure is not suitable, alternative structures may be developed, using classes from the standard as building blocks. The versions in this website identify the codes selected for collecting data in current surveys covering imports, exports and production as well as in the annual survey of products shipped and materials used by manufacturers.

The Standard Classification of Goods (SCG) is one of a number of standards used in Statistics Canada to facilitate the collection and publication of an integrated set of statistics. An example of another such standard is the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), which is designed to classify the establishments that produce goods or services. The SCG provides a structured list of goods, the classes being mutually exclusive, while collectively exhausting the universe of goods to be classified. It consists of a hierarchy of classes, with a different classification criterion applied at each level of the classification. Each class is identified by a code number, with the structure of the code indicating the level of the hierarchy. Although each class identified must have economic significance, the application of the principles of classification does not necessarily result in a similar degree of economic significance among categories at any given level of the hierarchy. Maintaining the stability of the SCG facilitates the comparison of data about goods, among different series for a given reference year or over time for any given series. On the other hand, to reflect changes in the economy and new requirements for statistics, the finest level of detail in the classification structure will be revised periodically.

The SCG replaces the Standard Commodity Classification (SCC), which was the first commodity standard applied by Statistics Canada. The SCC was developed and published during the 1950s and a revised edition was released in 1972. The SCC was implemented gradually over the years. It was introduced in the 1960s for imports (the Import Commodity Classification, or MCC), for exports (the Export Commodity Classification, or XCC), and for the commodities transported by rail, road and water. In the 1970s it was extended to the Census of Manufactures (the Industrial Commodity Classification, or ICC), an expanded import classification (the Canadian International Trade Classification, or CITC), and the Input-Output Tables (the Principal Commodity Groups, or PCG). In the early 1980s it was introduced into the family expenditure surveys and the Consumer Price Index.

The Standard Commodity Classification was not itself used as a coding manual. Instead, applied manuals based upon the standard were developed. These manuals drew from the standard, by using some classes as they were in the SCC, and by combining or splitting other classes, but usually respecting the classification structure. Normally, the first three digits of the standard coding system appeared in the derived classifications.

The SCG is based upon the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (Harmonized System, or HS), in that it incorporates the HS classification (descriptions and codes), legal notes, and the general rules of interpretation. Thereby, it can apply HS classification support such as the explanatory notes, the services of the HS Secretariat and other support associated with the HS. The SCG, however, extends the six-digit HS coding system, by an additional two digits. This extension was required to provide more statistical detail for goods that are manufactured in Canada, for the materials used in their manufacture, and for goods that are imported or exported. The extension also attempted, as far as possible, to maintain comparability with earlier data on goods.

The idea of an international standard commodity description and coding system grew out of a need to simplify and expedite trade documentation of all types, including customs documentation. A group of trading organizations responded to this need. Included in this group were the International Chamber of Shipping, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, and the Economic Commission for Europe. They believed that trade documentation would be faster and more accurate if a standard root code could be built into all product identification codes and assigned at the point of production and if the same root code could be incorporated into all the administrative classifications used in trade (e.g., customs tariffs, freight rate schedules, statistical classifications). Such an international standard for commodity classification would:

  • expedite international trade documentation;
  • reduce the expense incurred by redescribing, reclassifying and recoding goods as they move from one classification system to another in the course of international trade;
  • facilitate the standardization of trade documentation and the transmission of data;
  • improve the accuracy of commodity statistics; and
  • facilitate the collection, comparison and analysis of commodity statistics.

The most widely-used international coding system at the time was the Customs Co-operation Council Nomenclature, which was maintained by the World Customs Organization (WCO)Footnote 1, an organization to which most countries belong. The WCO was established to standardize tariff nomenclatures and facilitate the clearance of goods at international borders. Accordingly, under their auspices, a committee was established to develop the Harmonized System. Work began in 1973 and the classification was completed in 1983. Canada was represented by officials from Revenue Canada (Customs and Excise) and Statistics Canada.

The official name for this organization is the "Customs Co-operation Council (CCC)". The name, "World Customs Organization (WCO)", was adopted as the informal working name in June 1994 in order to indicate more clearly its nature and world-wide status.

Return to footnote 1 referrer

To implement the HS, each country signs a convention (the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System) binding itself to adopt the descriptions and codes of the HS and the rules governing its application for customs tariffs, import statistics and export statistics. The system was adopted in January 1988 by forty-five countries or customs unions, including Canada, the European Economic Community and Japan. It was adopted by the United States of America in January 1989.

To facilitate the compilation of market data, Statistics Canada also implemented the HS for production statistics, beginning with information for 1988. In fact, Statistics Canada has a policy stipulating that the HS become the definitional basis for all of the commodity statistics it produces. In many countries, trade classifications have been based upon the Standard International Trade Classification, and production classifications on national industrial classifications. These countries have experienced difficulty in converting commodity classifications to an HS base. Canada is accustomed to integrated commodity classification since, previously, both trade and production classifications were based upon the SCC.

The classification structure of the HS is sufficiently different from that of the SCC to complicate comparison, particularly for residual classes. The HS is designed primarily to facilitate the "identification" and coding of goods; therefore, it is principally organized by component material, a characteristic that is apparent from a physical examination of the goods. The SCC, on the other hand, was designed primarily to facilitate "analysis" of commodity statistics and is principally organized by stage of fabrication (i.e., crude materials, fabricated materials and end products, with the first two categories subdivided by component material, and the third, by use). The benefits of improved quality and comparability of data from adopting the HS, however, are deemed to more than compensate for the breaks in historical continuity and the regrouping of data required for analysis of commodity data.

The Standard Classification of Goods

  1. Structure

    The HS (and thus the SCG) was designed for the classification of goods on the basis of their physical characteristics, in the sense that one should be able to apply objective criteria to correctly classify a good or verify its classification, by examining it or asking a laboratory to test its physical or chemical properties. The corollary is that certificates of origin or intended use are not required to classify a good. The use of physical characteristics was thought to be the best way of getting reliably coded data.

    The main objective in developing the SCG was to add a level of commodity detail to the HS structure. This was necessary because the detail in the HS reflects the commodities that were significant in international trade during the 1970s. Additional national requirements for commodity statistics, particularly for commodities that are significant mainly in domestic production, had to be added to the HS. In developing the SCG, it was important to identify commodities that are significant for analytical purposes but also are defined in such a way that they can be reported from records kept by respondents or coded from documentation that travels with the goods.

    The SCG consists of a hierarchy of chapters (two-digit codes), headings (four-digit codes) and subheadings (six-digit codes and eight-digit codes), organized primarily by component material, beginning with crude products and proceeding through further stages of processing, then mixtures and products made from a variety of materials. Numerical codes are used. A count of these codes, by level, is given in the following table:

    Two-digit codes 96 96 96
    Four-digit codes 1,241 1,241 1,241
    Six-digit codes 5,019 5,113 5,113
    Eight-digit codes 12,499 15,087 15,266

    At the two-, four- and six-digit level, the list of goods is exhaustive. To obtain a complete list of codes at maximun detail, it is necessary to add those six-digit subheadings that have not been extended to the eight-digit level (codes in which the 7th and 8th digits are blank) to the count of 8 digit codes. The number of lowest-level codes thus obtained is 16,960 in 1996 and 17,104 in 2001.

    In the classification, commodity descriptions are sometimes employed at the fifth and seventh digit levels to simplify the presentation. Codes have been assigned to the five and seven-digit level, because some of them were required for data collection.

    The structure of the SCG can be illustrated by the example of Sockeye salmon in airtight containers:
    16 chapter two digits Preparations of meat, of fish or of crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates
    16.04 heading four digits  Prepared or preserved fish; caviar and caviar substitutes prepared from fish eggs
    1604.1 subheading five digits Fish, whole or in pieces, but not minced
    1604.11 subheading six digits Salmon
    1604.11.1 subheading seven digits In airtight containers
    1604.11.14 subheading eight digits Sockeye
    Sometimes the coding structure is simpler, as in Cocoa beans, whole or broken, raw or roasted:
    18 chapter two digits Cocoa and cocoa preparations
    18.01 heading four digits Cocoa beans, whole or broken, raw or roasted
    1801.00 subheading six digits Cocoa beans, whole or broken, raw or roasted

    In this latter case, the heading is repeated at the subheading level, and "00" is added to the code, but in the SCG, the heading description is not again repeated at the eight-digit level (i.e., 1801.00.00). This is because, for many headings there was no need to create further subheadings for data collection below the six-digit level. The addition of a significant number of duplicated six-digit-level descriptions (as illustrated above for the four-digit level) would have added considerably to the number of 8 digit classes.

  2. Terminology and spelling

    The terminology and spelling in the HS generally follows usage in England or France. The HS Convention calls for application of the HS descriptions exactly as written in English or French, to avoid confusion in comparing statistics. If, for example, the description of a class published by a given country differs from the HS description, users might suspect that the class content has been altered, even though the code is the same. The HS convention (Article 3) does, however, provide some flexibility, by allowing a country to make "...textual adaptations as may be necessary to give effect to the Harmonized System in its domestic law". Countries whose official language is neither English nor French have more freedom in writing descriptions. The application of HS descriptions in Canada creates some difficulties, as Canadian usage of the English and French languages is somewhat different from that in England or France, which were considered as language authorities, respectively, when the HS descriptions were prepared. The concessions (at the six-digit level) to Canadian practice were as follows:

    • "aluminium" in the HS is converted to "aluminum" in the SCG
    • "tyre" is converted to "tire"
    • "trucks" in heading 86.03 has been qualified as "trucks (cars)"
    • "wagons" in heading 86.06 has been qualified as "wagons (freight cars)"
    • "golf cars" in subheading 8703.10 has been qualified as "golf cars (carts)"
    • selected HS terms in heading 87.05 have been replaced by Canadian terms - i.e., "breakdown lorries" by "wreckers", "crane lorries" by "mobile cranes", "concrete-mixer lorries" by "concrete-mixers", "road sweeper lorries" by "road sweepers", and "spraying lorries" by "spraying vehicles"
    • "invalid carriages" has been replaced by "wheelchairs" (87.13 and 8714.20)
    • the period at the end of four-digit descriptions and the colon at the end of subheadings have been dropped, and there are some other minor differences.

    Beyond the six-digit level, the intention was to be consistent with HS subheading descriptions, but spelling tends to reflect that of the author of the description. Furthermore, a set of alternative descriptions has been developed for use with industry questionnaires where HS terminology was deemed inadequate to elicit the required information, or "stand alone" descriptions (not requiring reference to the heading text) were required.

  3. Units of measure

    At this time, the SCG does not show a unit of measure for each commodity class. These units, however, are useful, and most commodity surveys collect data for both units of measure and value. Although decisions have been made about the most appropriate unit of measure for most commodities, the remaining problem cases are difficult to resolve. It is difficult, for example, to determine whether weight or number is the most useful unit of measure for some commodities. As well, some commodities may require two units of measure (e.g., weight and area are complementary units of measure for textile fabrics).

  4. Industry of origin

    Another objective of the SCG is to define each commodity class in such a way that it can be related to its industry of origin. Monthly commodity data for trade and production grouped by industry of origin can be used as a crude indicator of change in industry output, value added, demand for materials, and capacity utilization, and other measures which are normally available only from annual industry reports that are published years later. Furthermore, establishments are usually assigned to industries according to the products they produce. By using a commodity by industry concordance (which matches each of the lowest-level SCG codes to the industry deemed to be the primary producer of this product), it is possible to classify establishments to industries according to their reported products, and to verify the industry code for a given establishment when its annual statistical report is being processed. Although, in fact, some commodities are not principally produced by only one industry and many are produced as secondary products by different industries, the relationship holds true sufficiently well that the assignment of commodities to industries in this manner produces a useful tool. Accordingly, a concordance linking each of the lowest-level SCG codes to its industry of origin (at the six-digit NAICS level) has been prepared (see concordances).

  5. Interpretative rules and legal notes

    Formal notes and rules are an integral part of the HS and, therefore, the SCG. They consist of the section and chapter legal notes at the top of each chapter and a set of interpretive rules (see General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System). These notes and rules are formal, in that countries signing the convention to implement the HS bind themselves to follow them, and any disputes over an HS-based classification of a commodity would be argued in court in their context. The rules and notes are also applicable to the classes at the seven- and eight digit levels.

  6. Current coverage

    The SCG identifies the level of data collected in surveys of imports, exports, material used and shipments, by respondents to the Annual Survey of Manufactures as well as commodity data gathered in a variety of current surveys. The goods identified for each survey reflects the uniqueness of each universe surveyed and illustrate the manner in which different surveys can be accomodated within one general classification. Futhermore, the classes selected reflect the demand for data, their availability, questionnaire or coding manual design, method of data collection, and confidentiality of the information. The alphabetic codes used to identify these levels of data collection have the following meanings:

    Imports (I)

    These codes are related to the commodities for which import data were collected for the specified reference year. The implementation of the HS for import statistics differs from that of the other series, because import statistics are coded according to the joint tariff-statistical code shown in the Customs Tariff (CT). In the CT code, the six-digit HS component is followed by two digits for tariff purposes, then two more digits for statistical purposes; the full ten digits being required to identify a specific commodity. Where statistical requirements are incompatible with the tariff structure, identical statistical breakouts are required from two or more tariff classes to facilitate the regrouping of data to meet statistical requirements. The SCG, having an eight-digit code and being a statistical classification, did not adopt all tariff codes; therefore, it identifies import classes that are identical to tariff classes or to groupings of tariff classes. A concordance linking the codes of the CT to those of the SCG carrying the flag I is available from Standards Division.

    Exports (E)

    These codes appear in the Canadian Export Classification for the appropriate reference year. There are a number of exceptions which are available from Standards Division.

    Shipments (S)

    These codes were used to collect data on shipments of goods as reported in Section 8 of the questionnaires for the Annual Survey of Manufactures.

    Materials (M)

    These codes were used to collect data on energy and materials used by manufacturers as reported in Section 5 and Section 6 of questionnaires for the 1996 Annual Survey of Manufactures. Where an S or M is not shown in a chapter, data is collected at the 2 digit or chapter level.

    Current surveys (C)

    These codes are used to collect data on specific goods in a variety of sub-annual surveys of manufacturers. The C codes cannot be used as a classification in the sense of covering the whole universe as is the case for the I, E, S and M codes. The surveys using these codes focus on very narrow ranges of commodities.

    It will be evident from a perusal of the flags that the definition of the "Other" classes differs according to the survey identified. When more classes are identified in one survey than another, the "Other" class will not be comparable.

    In spite of the large number of commodity classes, the commodity detail is insufficient to meet all requirements. This may be due to lack of space within the relevant range of codes or to the necessity to accommodate a different classification structure. In such cases, additional digits are allowed at the discretion of the subject-matter divisions. At this time, for example, nine-digit codes for use in the Annual Survey of Manufactures have been provided for in the SCG file. These codes and their descriptions are included in the versions of the SCG on this website.

  7. Updating

    The SCG is updated annually. See Annex E for a concordance and indication of the changes between 1995 and 1996. Updates come from a number of sources, including HS changes, incorporation of new detail from new surveys, changes in commodity detail covered by existing surveys, and basic changes resulting from commodity classification research.

    "Harmonized System Changes 1996"

    HS changes originate from the HS Committee which is composed of representatives from all signatories to the HS convention. This committee meets regularly at the offices of the World Customs Organization in Brussels, Belgium. It is supported by a permanent secretariat. Proposals for HS changes are submitted to the committee through national representatives. Normally, three or four years elapse between the time a proposal is presented to the committee and the time it affects the collection of data, and thus the SCG. The first set of changes affecting the HS component of the SCG came into effect on January 1, 1992 and consisted of a minimal number of description changes, additions and deletions. The next set of Harmonized System changes came into effect on January 1, 1996 and have been incorporated into this version of the SCG. The 1996 HS changes are significant in number and scope and reflect WCO recommendations or user initiated requests for revision. The text of approximately 125 HS headings, subheadings and classification numbers were modified by the WCO in order to revise or clarify meaning. As well, the 1996 HS changes included 253 deletions of six-digit subheadings, and the addition of 348 new six-digit subheadings. The deletion and addition of subheadings have allowed for more appropriate classification structures, for the incorporation of new technological products such as 'compact disc' products (see HS 8524.31) and to provide more detail for goods whose trade values are high. The 1996 HS changes impact a large number of eight digit SCG codes. A significant portion of the over 2000 code deletions and the over 2600 code additions are a result of the 1996 HS code changes. Every attempt was made to recreate, under the new HS code numbers, the SCG classes that were deleted. In some cases, however, the new HS structure precludes this, the result being a break in historical continuity. Another significant change to the HS takes place on January 1, 2002.

    "Other changes"

    Changes also occur when new surveys are incorporated into the SCG. At this time a process of integration takes place, in which commodities at the appropriate level of the SCG are selected and negotiations are undertaken, in order to modify the seventh and eighth digits of the SCG to reflect the best arrangement for a standard. Most changes arise from ongoing surveys. Routinely, in the last half of each calendar year, a series of meetings to discuss changes in commodity detail to be covered by the various surveys in the next reference year takes place. From these meetings, changes to the SCG are made to reflect the latest requirements for commodity data, and survey coverage for the next data year is settled. Finally, in-depth studies of selected commodity groups are conducted periodically, taking into account the nature of the commodities on the market, requirements for data and modifications to the classification structure. A significant portion of the SCG should undergo such scrutiny annually, from which well-documented proposals for changes should be produced.

    Annual updates to the 1988 edition of the manual were released as a set of replacement pages. This proved to be an administrative burden for purchasers of the manual because of the relatively large number of replacement pages, although the actual number of changes was not great compared to the total number of classes, and also because libraries found such updates to be inconvenient. For these reasons, and since the manual is a basic reference rather than an operating manual, it has been decided beginning with the 1992 manual to discontinue issuing an annual updating supplement. Nevertheless, the classification will continue to be updated annually to fulfill its primary function which is to facilitate the integration of the commodity classifications used in Statistics Canada. These updates will be available to user specifications, priced according to the specification. Contact Standards Division for this service.

  8. HS implementation, by survey

    The SCG is intended as a standard for application to all commodity surveys conducted by Statistics Canada. The following table provides a status report on the extent to which the SCG was implemented by January 1, 1996:

    SCG Implementation in Commodity Surveys
    Survey Number of Survey Categories Implementation Date
    Imports 16,818 categories January 1988
    Exports 5,889 categories January 1988
    Annual Survey of Manufactures (240 different industry questionnaires) 7,406 categories of shipments; 3,566 categories of materials 1988 data year
    Industry Division current surveys (approx. 54) varies by industry about 90% were SCG-based for 1992 data
    Water transport 483 categories 1991 data, to be replaced by SCTGFootnote 2
    Truck transport unknown to be based on SCTGFootnote 2
    Rail transport unknown to be based on SCTGFootnote 2
    Dairy product surveys varies by survey draft classification ready 1991
    Other Agriculture Division surveys varies by survey preliminary work done 1991
    Family expenditure surveys over 300 categories of goods preliminary work done 1992
    Consumer Price Index over 182 categories of goods no action to date
    Capital Expenditure Surveys varies by survey field test completed and accepted by Methods and Standards Committee; not yet implemented, with the exception of Electric Power Industry Survey, 1991

  9. Concordances

    Concordances are prepared to assist users of commodity statistics to compare classifications and to link data. Two of the concordances included in this publication show how the codes actually used to collect data on imports (Annex C) and exports (Annex D) relate to the SCG. These concordances may be used to compare classifications or regroup data since the relationship between exports or imports and the SCG is 1 to 1 or many to one. Concordances in which classes in one classification relate to more than one class in another must provide ratios before the concordances can be used to regroup data.

    A variety of concordances is available to assist users of commodity data. Analysts of commodity data may find concordances linking the classifications before and after HS implementation to be of interest. Others find it useful to group commodities by industry. In the latter context we would like to mention the following concordances:

    • SCG x SIC 1980 (annual versions 1988 to 1996)
    • SCG x NAICS (annual versions 1996 to present)
    • CT x SIC 1980 (cumulative 1988 to 1996)
    • CT x NAICS (cummulative 1988 to present)

    Contact Standards Division for additional information about concordances.

General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System

Classification of goods in the Nomenclature shall be governed by the following principles:

  1. The titles of Sections, Chapters and sub-Chapters are provided for ease of reference only; for legal purposes, classification shall be determined according to the terms of the headings and any relative Section or Chapter Notes and, provided such headings or Notes do not otherwise require, according to the following provisions:
    1. Any reference in a heading to an article shall be taken to include a reference to that article incomplete or unfinished, provided that, as presented, the incomplete or unfinished article has the essential character of the complete or finished article. It shall also be taken to include a reference to that article complete or finished (or falling to be classified as complete or finished by virtue of this Rule), presented unassembled or disassembled.
    2. Any reference in a heading to a material or substance shall be taken to include a reference to mixtures or combinations of that material or substance with other materials or substances. Any reference to goods of a given material or substance shall be taken to include a reference to goods consisting wholly or partly of such material or substance. The classification of goods consisting of more than one material or substance shall be according to the principles of Rule 3.
  2. When by application of Rule 2(b) or for any other reason, goods are, "prima facie", classifiable under two or more headings, classification shall be effected as follows:
    1. The heading which provides the most specific description shall be preferred to headings providing a more general description. However, when two or more headings each refer to part only of the materials or substances contained in mixed or composite goods or to part only of the items in a set put up for retail sale, those headings are to be regarded as equally specific in relation to those goods, even if one of them gives a more complete or precise description of the goods.
    2. Mixtures, composite goods consisting of different materials or made up of different components, and goods put up in sets for retail sale, which cannot be classified by reference to 3(a), shall be classified as if they consisted of the material or component which gives them their essential character, insofar as this criterion is applicable.
    3. When goods cannot be classified by reference to 3(a) or 3(b), they shall be classified under the heading which occurs last in numerical order among those which equally merit consideration.
  3. Goods which cannot be classified in accordance with the above Rules shall be classified under the heading appropriate to the goods to which they are most akin.
  4. In addition to the foregoing provisions, the following Rules shall apply in respect of the goods referred to therein:
    1. Camera cases, musical instrument cases, gun cases, drawing instrument cases, necklace cases and similar containers, specially shaped or fitted to contain a specific article or set of articles, suitable for long-term use and presented with the articles for which they are intended, shall be classified with such articles when of a kind normally sold therewith. This Rule does not, however, apply to containers which give the whole its essential character;
    2. Subject to the provisions of Rule 5(a) above, packing materials and packing containers presented with the goods therein shall be classified with the goods if they are of a kind normally used for packing such goods. However, this provision does not apply when such packing materials or packing containers are clearly suitable for repetitive use.
  5. For legal purposes, the classification of goods in the subheadings of a heading shall be determined according to the terms of those subheadings and any related Subheading Notes and, "mutatis mutandis", to the above Rules, on the understanding that only subheadings at the same level are comparable. For the purposes of this Rule the relative Sections and Chapter Notes also apply, unless the context otherwise requires.
