FAQ

What happens if I use an outdated HS code?

Using an outdated HS code or country-specific code is considered an incorrect code and can result in the following consequences:

• Your shipment may be held at the border by customs.
• Customs will assign an HS code to the goods themselves, which may result in a higher-than-accurate duty rate.
• Your shipment may be rejected.
• You may incur penalties and fines.
