CBSP Codes
CBSP Codes
CBSP Codes are Panama's official goods and services classification system required by the Direccion General de Ingresos (DGI) for electronic invoicing. Every product on an electronic invoice must carry a CBSP code so the Tax Authority can categorize the transaction. CifraHQ organizes these codes in a two-level hierarchy: Segments (broad categories) and Families (sub-categories within a segment).
Where to find it
Go to Inventory > CBSP Codes.
CBSP Codes list, government tariff codes used on customs documents.
How the hierarchy works
| Level | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Segment | 10 -- Food and Beverage |
Top-level grouping; identified by a 2-digit code |
| Family | 1010 -- Dairy Products |
Sub-grouping within a segment; identified by a 4-digit code |
The page displays both panels side by side. Click a segment row to filter the Families panel to that segment only. Click Clear filter to show all families again.

Tips
- CBSP codes are shared reference data. Changes affect all Products that reference a code.
- Assign the appropriate Family code to each product in the product catalog so that electronic Invoices are accepted by the DGI without rejection.
