GlobalPost Launches New HS Code Lookup Tool to Help Customers Avoid Customs Delays and Eliminate Overpayment of Taxes

Business Wire
GlobalPost has announced the launch of their new, simple-to-use
HS code lookup tool. HS Codes are part of a standardized
international system developed by the World Customs Organization to
help classify and categorize different types of goods using simple
six-digit codes. These codes help products get through customs
faster and help avoid possible overpayment of duties and taxes.
How does the GlobalPost HS code lookup tool work?
GlobalPost customers simply type in the product name and confirm
characteristics. The tool will automatically generate the approved
HS code for that product using the World Customs Organization
schedule. The tool is free to use for up to 5 searches per day. For
high-volume SmartSaver customers, GlobalPost will populate HS Codes
for up to 500 products free of charge.
The Importance of HS Codes
- Experience a faster, smoother customs clearance process:
Incorrect or missing HS Codes can lead to potential delays in
customs. Without an HS code attached to a product, shippers are at
the mercy of customs officials to determine proper product
classification before receiving customs clearance.
- Avoid overpayment of duties and taxes: Without proper HS
codes, products are at risk of being overtaxed by customs officials
due to lack of understanding of the actual product being shipped.
Correct HS Codes ensure consistency from market to market and fewer
surprises.
- Improve the end-customer experience: With HS codes, duty
rate calculations are fast and easy. Shippers will be able to
inform customers about duties and taxes upfront, resulting in a
smoother, surprise-free shipping experience.
“Our goal is to help our international shippers get products to
their customers with the least amount of friction possible,” said
Ken McBride, Chairman and CEO of Stamps.com, the GlobalPost parent
company. “HS codes help to eliminate delays with Customs, avoid
unnecessary fees and taxes and get the package into the buyer's
hands without delay. That’s the key to generating happy
customers.”
