What is an HS Code?
Chapter

10A harmonized code, or HS code, is an internationally recognized “part number” used by over 180 countries, to help quickly identify products so taxes can be calculated as they pass through customs.
Why do I need HS codes?
HS codes are critical for:
- accurate duty and tax calculations which you can only get with accurate product classification
Inaccurate/missing HS codes on commercial invoices may lead to:
- customs delays
- duty and tax amounts changing at customs due to arbitrarily assigned HS codes by customs authorities
If customs, rather than you, assigns HS codes to your imports:
- the duty and tax charges they come up with may be different than yours
- this leads to potential discrepancies with what you charged
- these discrepancies lead to budget and accounting issues

Get peace of mind
“It gives me peace of mind knowing that the HS codes are calculated correctly and that someone is staying on top of the constant regulations changes.”
Hampden Clothing (Shopify)
Zonos has revolutionized HS code classification
The HS code classification process has always been expensive, time-consuming, and inaccurate. Humans and other classification software only get HS and HTS codes right 7/10 times. Zonos is changing the game with our industry-leading classification tool that uses machine learning to generate instant, accurate results.
Great tool for international ecommerce sellers
“The app makes it easy to search for harmonized codes for items and makes it easier to provide necessary customs paperwork. It’s a great tool for international ecommerce sellers and provides customs duties and tax information in advance to our ecommerce customers.”

FAQs
How does Zonos Classify work?
Zonos Classify uses keywords for your products, such as item description, brand, and color to search for the most appropriate HS code. Image recognition and machine learning can also be used for even better results.
What is the Harmonized System (HS)?
The Harmonized System (HS) is what’s used to classify cross-border goods for global trade. More than 200 countries use the Harmonized System as a basis for their Customs tariffs and the collection of international trade statistics.
What is the difference between HS and HTS codes?
The difference between HS and HTS codes is the number of digits within the code. A code with six digits is the universal standard as part of the HS (Harmonized System, Harmonized Tariff System) code whereas a code with 7-10 digits is determined by the country of import and is considered the HTS code.
Are HS codes required for landed cost calculation?
No, HS codes are not required; however, landed cost calculations will be more precise and accurate if the products are properly classified to the sixth-digit HS or eighth-digit HTS tariff-level code.
Who is Zonos Classify designed for?
Classify can be used for a variety of use cases, including:
- ecommerce companies that ship internationally
- ecommerce platforms
- online marketplaces
- customs brokers
- logistics providers with shipping platforms or APIs
