In Malaysia, you can categorize products in 2 ways:

• Malaysian Category Codes: Malaysia provides a list of standard codes that you can use to categorize goods.
• Product Tariff Codes (PTC): Product Tariff Codes are a global standard used to classify goods.

Use the ItemClassificationCode element to specify whichever of these suits your implementation's needs.

Category Codes

The Malaysian Tax Authority provides a standard set of codes on the Classification Codes page. You can use these to categorize goods.
