0096·Only an energy unit is allowed for this HS code

Product classificationOccasional

What this means

Electricity is measured in energy units, and the relevant HS codes accept nothing else. A count or weight unit fails.

Why it happens

  • A generic unit was applied across the catalogue.
  • The item was classified under an electricity code but priced as a physical good.

How to fix it

  1. 1Use the energy unit for electricity classifications.
  2. 2Query the HS-code-to-unit reference for the specific code.
