Accurate HS codes are essential

Modified on Wed, 29 Jan at 1:55 PM

When shipping internationally, HS (Harmonized System) Codes help customs officers quickly identify what’s inside your parcel—without needing detailed explanations. Here’s what you need to know:

  1. How HS codes work: they act like product “passports,” letting customs staff know if any duties or restrictions apply. This prevents confusion and keeps your shipment moving.

  2. Why they’re important:

    • Faster customs clearance: Correct codes reduce the chance of delays.
    • Accurate duties: Duties, taxes, and fees are calculated based on the code.
    • Smooth shipping: Less back-and-forth with customs means you and your customers stay happy.
  3. Where to find them: we’ve added a help option in our platform to guide you on how to look up the right HS Codes. If you’re unsure, feel free to check it out before finalizing your product details.
