Commodity Categories

Commodity Category Codes indicate the general product types (For example, S would be a spirit, and B would be a beer). These category codes are used on the Commodity Code screen and in other places (to show what types of products are allowed for use by individual Customers for example and on System Delivery Addresses).

Below is a list of Categories extracted from the HMRC website on 03/10/2024
