- Standard International Trade Classification
- A commonly used classification system for internationally traded goods and services. The system consists of 9 sections (numbered 0 through 9), each section is split into divisions, and the divisions are further split into groups. The acronym nes is used in the classification system and stands for 'not elsewhere specified'. These codes are periodically changed and the sections and divisions in use in 1992 are:0 Food and live animals00 Live animals other than animals of division 0301 Meat and meat preparations02 Dairy products and birds' eggs022 Milk and cream and milk products other than butter and cheese023 Butter and other fats and oils derived from milk023 Cheese and curd03 Fish (not marine mammals), crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic invertebrates, and preparations thereof04 Cereal and cereal production041 Wheat (including spelt) and meslin, unmilled042 Rice043 Barley, unmilled044 Maize (not including sweetcorn), unmilled05 Vegetables and fruit06 Sugar, sugar preparations and honey07 Coffee, tea, cocoa, spices, and manufactures thereof071 Coffee and coffee substitutes072 Cocoa074 Tea and maté08 Feeding stuff for animals (not including unmilled cereals)09 Miscellaneous edible products and preparations1 Beverages and tobacco11 Beverages112 Alcoholic beverages12 Tobacco and tobacco manufactures2 Crude material, inedible, except fuels21 Hides, skins and furskins, raw22 Oil seeds and oleaginous fruit23 Crude rubber (including synthetic and reclaimed)24 Cork and wood25 Pulp and waste paper26 Textile fibres (other than wool tops), and their wastes (not manufactured into yarn or fabric)263 Cotton266 Synthetic fibres suitable for spinning267 Other man-made fibres suitable for spinning and waste of man-made fibres268 Wool and other animal hair (including wool tops)27 Crude fertilisers other than those of division 56 and crude minerals (excluding coal, petroleum and precious stones)28 Metalliferous ores and metal scrap281 Iron ore and concentrates29 Crude animal and vegetable materials, nes3 Mineral fuels, lubricants and related materials32 Coal, coke and briquettes33 Petroleum, petroleum products, and related materials333 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous materials, crude34 Gas, natural and manufactured35 Electric current4 Animal and vegetable oils, fats and waxes41 Animal oils and fats42 Fixed vegetable fats and oils;
