Understanding HS Codes

What are HS Codes?

HS codes are a standardized numerical system used globally to classify traded products. They help customs authorities identify the goods in your shipment, ensure accurate duty and tax calculation, and verify compliance with international regulations.
Without the correct HS code, your shipments may face delays, fines, or even rejection at customs.

Why Accurate HS Codes Matter

Using the correct HS codes is essential for avoiding costly mistakes. Incorrect codes can result in customs delays, penalties, and frustrated customers waiting on their orders. Buku Ship removes the guesswork by assigning accurate HS codes to your products—ensuring smooth customs clearance and faster, hassle-free deliveries.

Compliance with Global Standards

HS codes are recognized internationally. Using the correct HS codes ensures compliance with global standards and helps reduce the risk of customs delays.

Duty and Tax Assessment

Customs authorities use HS codes to determine the appropriate duties and taxes for each shipment. Incorrect codes can lead to misapplied tariffs, resulting in overpayment or underpayment of taxes.

Avoiding Delays

Accurate classification using HS codes reduces the risk of customs-related hold-ups. This is essential for maintaining supply chain efficiency and ensuring timely deliveries.

Trade Data Tracking

HS codes are used to monitor trade data—supporting government policy, controlled goods regulation, and business market analysis.

Risk Management

Correct HS codes reduce the risk of non-compliance penalties, helping protect your bottom line and business reputation.
