Harmonised System Code
Ship worldwide with confidence using the correct HS Code
For international shipments, customs authorities use a Harmonised System Code (HS Code) to determine the import duties and VAT that you or your customer must pay. An incorrect code can lead to unexpected and unnecessary costs, delays, or even returned shipments.
With our AI-powered HS Code Checker, you can avoid these issues. Simple, fast, and seamlessly integrated into your shipping process.
What is an HS code?
An HS Code (Harmonised System Code) is an internationally standardised numerical code used to classify goods in global trade. The system is managed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) and is used by customs authorities worldwide to identify products when goods cross international borders.
Each HS Code describes a specific type of product and determines which import duties, taxes, and customs regulations apply to a shipment. Businesses that ship goods internationally must include the correct HS Code on customs documentation to ensure accurate classification and smooth customs clearance.
What are HS codes used for?
As the HS Code is a global classification system that groups products into categories, it specifically classifies:
How customs authorities assess your product
Which import duties apply
Which VAT rates are applicable
Without the correct code, your shipment may be incorrectly classified, which can have consequences for your delivery.
With the Select Courier shipping platform, you can easily prevent this. Our HS Code Checker is fully integrated into the booking process, allowing you to manage all your international shipments efficiently and compliantly.

Rejection of the parcel by customs or the recipient
High additional costs, such as return costs, duplicate transport charges and double VAT
