This information is critical because it assists businesses in determining the customs tariffs, taxes, and duties that will apply to their products when they are imported or exported.​

Here are some key points to remember

• HS Codes (Harmonized System Codes) are a standardized system of names and numbers used in international trade to classify goods.
• Each HS Code corresponds to a specific product or category of products, and customs officials use it to calculate the applicable duties and taxes.
• Tariffs, on the other hand, are taxes on imported goods. The amount of duty charged is determined by the HS Code, the country of origin, and the value of the imported goods.
• Recognizing the HS Codes and Tariffs is critical for international trade businesses, as noncompliance can result in delays, fines, and even the seizure of goods.
