Including an HS code when adding a custom item during an order

Topic summary

A user needs to add HS (Harmonized System) codes when creating custom items in Shopify but cannot do this through the platform’s native interface.

Proposed Solution:

  • Use product metafields to store HS codes
  • For bulk editing, utilize apps like Matrixify
  • Note: Native HS code support is only available with Shopify Markets Pro

Status: The issue remains unresolved pending the user’s response to the suggested workaround. A setup guide was offered if needed.

When adding a custom item I also need to add the HS code. This cannot be done in shopify itself. Is there an app to do this, or some other method.

Cheers

Hey @Anchoright ,

You can add HS codes using a product metafield in Shopify. For bulk edits, use an app like Matrixify. Shopify doesn’t support it natively unless you’re on Markets Pro. Let me know if you want a quick setup guide!

Best,
