What is an HS Code?

The HS (Harmonized System) code is a standardized system for classifying products in international trade. Developed by the World Customs Organization, it provides a common language for customs authorities worldwide.

Each HS code determines the customs duty, VAT, SCT and other tax rates for a product. Using the correct HS code is critical for accurately calculating import costs and avoiding customs issues.

Finding an HS code requires knowing the product's description, material type, intended use, and physical characteristics. The traditional method involves manually searching the tariff schedule, but importics AI automates this process in seconds.
