In the context of statistics about economies (and other topics), the various elements need to be grouped according to particular characteristics so that they can be distinguished in any analysis. These elements include kinds of activity, types of products (goods and services), the purpose of expenditures, types of transactions, institutional sectors, employment status and occupation, etc. Standard, systematic classifications are necessary mainly so that statistics from different sources of data can be brought together, compared and analysed. Standard classifications are particularly important for national accounts, price indices and labour market statistics.
My Request:
How can we transform HS codes to ISIC? Is there any .xls file do it automatically?
Dear Sajad Rajabi .
I don't know the subject in depth. I attach a file of correspondence between ISIC - CIIU in Spanish - and the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS), of the Colombian Institute of Statistics - and the address from which you can download it: https://www.dane.gov.co/index.php/sistema-estadistico-nacional-sen/normas-y-estandares/nomenclaturas-y-clasificaciones/tablas- correlativas–. We are waiting for contributions from colleagues who are working on these issues, to deepen.
Greetings

Estimado Sajad.
No conozco el tema en profundidad. Te adjunto por si es de utilidad un archivo
.xls de correspondencia entre el ISIC – CIIU en español – y el Sistema Armonizado de Designación y Codificación de Mercancías (SA), del Instituto de Estadística de Colombia – y la dirección desde la cual lo descargue: https://www.dane.gov.co/index.php/sistema-estadistico-nacional-sen/normas-y-estandares/nomenclaturas-y-clasificaciones/tablas-correlativas–. Esperamos los aportes de colegas que estén trabajando estos temas, para profundizar.

Here, you have the official ones:
https://unstats.un.org/unsd/classifications/Econ#Correspondences
With the year, they can change, and you will have to use an intermediate classification.
A most straighforward possibility (related to the previous one) is WITS (UN COMTRADE):

You have first to register and login (it is free).
Dear José-Ignacio Antón
