@Andersson is correct but the problem is he calls find_elements method in the place he supposed to call find element, please execute this code, it would work.

desc_list = driver.find_element_by_class_name("dl")
desc_list.find_element_by_xpath("./dt[.='Commodity Code']/following-sibling::dd").text


Please note I called find_element in the first line not find_elements.

find_element

find_elements

Try to implement below code to get the values of "Commodity Code" as output:

"Commodity Code"

for desc_list in driver.find_elements_by_class_name("dl"):
print(desc_list.find_element_by_xpath("./dt[.='Commodity Code']/following-sibling::dd").text)


desc_list
