HS code

What is HS code?

The Harmonised System (HS) code is the 6-plus-digit number that classifies your product for customs worldwide — extended to 8–10 digits in most destination countries. It directly sets the duty percentage you pay, so a wrong code means overpaying for years or, worse, a misdeclaration penalty when customs reclassifies the goods. Never accept the supplier's code unchecked: confirm it against your own customs tariff, because the factory's incentive is a fast sale, not your correct duty.
