Global expansion, localizing content, and selling in multiple currencies and languages
Hey guys,
I've added a product to my new store and it's asking for an HS Code for customs. I'm selling items like t-shirts and hoodies, but I cannot seem to find the correct HS Code for this.. can anyone help?
TIA!
Ben
Solved! Go to the solution
This is an accepted solution.
Simple Answer:
No/Yes, depends
Advanced:
You need it if a certain $ Threshold is reached. If you import to the EU you need EORI.
Usually, your freight company puts the "HS" on, but not really necessary for small amount delivery.
Maybe you are shipping Pallets to Turkey, then Yes.
Hi @slimak ,
An HS Code is necessary when shipping cross-borders. I suggest you reach out to your Customs agency to process your request here and get them set. It will avoid headaches down the line.
Cheers!

Where are you located?
Just make sure you fully state on the Invoice:
1x Pullover, 80% Cotton 20% Wool, that's all you need.
I am guessing you don't export 1000s of Items once, because you would not ask here.
Located in the UK. No this is a merchandise store.. probably won't be more than 5-10 orders a day for now
Hi,
To find a garment's HS Code, try www.tarifftel.com
It provides hs codes for import and export and is easy to use by a non customs person. It's free for the first 10 or so codes but you do need to create an account.
If you are importing the goods it's your responsibility to get the hs/commodity code correct. Import duty is dependant on the hs code and the items Origin (according to the "rules of origin"). Basically where the item was made not where it was shipped from.
Hope this helps.
IF you have difficulty to classification HS code, I will help you to support your business. ALL of apparel Product HS code, Textile, Toys, Garment etc
