Harmonized System (HS) codes are an internationally standardized system of names and numbers to classify traded products, developed and maintained by the World Customs Organization (WCO). You need to provide the correct HS codes for your products on the Commercial Invoice, which is an essential element in order to clear customs. The HS Code is also a core element to accurately calculate duties and taxes. You can use our Find Tariff Codes tool to easily find HS codes to classify your products.

Landed cost is an estimate of the total end-to-end cost of shipping a product from one point to another. It includes the original price of the product, all transportation fees, customs charges, duties, taxes, insurance, and any handling and payment fees that are relevant and can be established at the time of shipping.

Knowing your shipment’s landed cost helps you understand the estimated expenditures per product sold, and reduces your risk of being blindsided by unexpected costs at the destination country. Use this knowledge to set more competitive and realistic prices for your customers, improve your supply chain, and sharpen your decision-making process. 

You can get a landed cost estimation for your shipment by using our Pre-shipment Planner tool by providing some key information like your origin and destination countries, your product’s import tariff code, country of manufacture and total product value. 

Every country has a different set of export/import regulations that may change from time to time, and the shipper is responsible to adhere to such regulatory requirements.  To learn more about how we can help you understanding Export/Import Customs Requirements, explore our Pre-shipment Planner. 

A delivery exception (or shipment exception) occurs when a shipment is temporarily delayed or stalled in transit. There are many possible reasons, such as customs delays due to wrong Harmonized System (HS) codes or poor information/documentation provided in the Commercial Invoice. You can reduce your risk of a delivery exception by using our Find Tariff Codes tool to get the correct HS codes and our Pre-shipment Planner to better understand the Export/Import Customs Requirements, avoiding potential delays.
