Get started with ClassifyÂ
If you have access to Zonos Dashboard, you can test Classify with 1,000 free classifications using as little as a product description. If you don’t have access to Dashboard or if you’ve already used your free classifications and would like to upgrade, contact Zonos.
Request a classificationÂ
Simply log in to Zonos Dashboard and click on Classify on the left sidebar menu. From there, you can begin classifying using the Zonos single classifiation tool or you can classify your products in bulk via CSV using bulk Classify. Classify will return an HS code with just an item description. However, the more product details you provide, the more accurate your result will be. Learn about best practices for Classify input fields.
To request a universal (6-digit) code, simply leave the ship-to country null in the Classify request. A six-digit classification is universal for all WCO member countries.
To request a country-specific (8+ digit code), simply add the ship-to country in the Classify request. The benefits of classifying to country-specific code include improved restricted item management, reduced tax rates, preferential duty rates, and smoother customs clearance.
