Common Questions

What is an HS code?

An HS (Harmonized System) code is a standardized 6-10 digit number used by customs authorities worldwide to classify traded products. It determines tariff rates and import requirements.

Why do Shopify sellers need HS codes?

US customs now requires HS codes for all shipments, including those under $800. This is part of the new de minimis regulations. Shopify sellers shipping to the US must provide accurate HS codes.

How accurate is AI ShipMate?
