Import Duties and HS Codes

Import duties are government-imposed taxes on goods brought into the country, while Harmonized System (HS) codes serve as an internationally standardized classification system for identifying products during customs processing. Customs authorities use HS codes to determine the applicable duties, taxes, and fees for imported goods.

HS codes typically consist of six digits but may be extended by individual countries for more specific classifications. You can identify the appropriate HS code for your product using online resources such as Access2Markets or by consulting customs representatives.
