Committee of Participants on the Expansion of Trade in 
Information Technology Products    
 
 
HS2012 AND HS2017  AMENDMENTS IN RELATION  
TO ITA  PRODUCTS  AND MODEL LISTS  
TECHNICAL NOTE  BY THE SECRETARIAT1 
The list of products annexed to the Information Technology Agreement (ITA) was based on the 
1996 edition of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (Harmonized System or 
HS). 
 
In June  2007, as requested by the Chairperson  of the Committee, the Secretariat prepared the 
model list in HS2007 (including an intermediate table in HS2002) to indicate and exp lain the changes 
that result from the introduction of the HS2007 and HS2002 in relation to the ITA, which together 
with a technical note, was circulated in document  JOB(07)/96.2 
 
At the Committee 's meeting of 14  May 2019, the Chairperson requested the Sec retariat to update 
the document – JOB(07)/96 to include also HS2012 and HS2017  nomenclatures.  
 
In preparing the updated model lists, the Secretariat has taken into account the agreement on 
classification divergence for certain Attachment  B products contain ed in the following documents:  
 
(i) G/IT/27: Decision for the classification of certain Attachment  B products (August  2013); 
and 
 
(ii) G/IT/29: Decision for the HS2007  classification of 15  additional "Attachment  B" 
products  (May 2016).  
 
In addition, the updated model lists have also taken into account the possible classifications 
contained in the following documents, even though they have not been formally agreed by Members:  
 
(i) G/IT/W/47  – Draft decision for the HS2007  classification of th ree additional 
"Attachment  B" products ; and 
 
(ii) G/IT/W/40/Suppl.4 – Divergences of classification: possible HS2007  classification for 
the remaining 22  "Attachment  B" items.  
 
 
 
1 This document has been prepared under the Secretariat's own responsibility and is without prejudice 
to the positions of Members and to their rights and obligations under the WTO  Agreement.  
2 The World Customs Organization classification opinion on set top  boxes  (G/IT/26/Add.2) was reflected 
in document  JOB(07)/96.

HS 2007 heading 8523 originates from 4 HS 2002 headings, of which 8523 ( Prepared unrecorded media …) and 8524 (Records, tapes and other recorded  media)  
Item 042 was classified in HS 2002 8523.90 (prepared unrecorded  media) and linked to HS 2007 8523.41 ( unrecorded  optical media) and is not correlated to 
HS 2007 8523.49  (other than unrecorded) . 
Items 043, 044, 046 and 047 were classified in HS 2002 heading 8524 (recorded media) and should be linked to HS 2007 subheading 8523.49 (other than 
unrecorded) and not correlated to HS 2007 8523.41 (unrecorded).  
 
Attachment B items 199 and 201 are classifie d in both HS 2002 headings 8523 and 8524 . Consequently, items 199 and 201 are also classified in HS 2012
