Can I use my supplier’s HS code for destination customs clearance?
Treat the supplier’s code as a starting point for review. Provide the product’s materials, function, model and intended use to the appointed broker. The Harmonized System is shared at six digits, but destination tariffs may add further digits and requirements. Confirm the code applicable to the importing country before filing. If classification remains uncertain, ask the broker or customs authority about an advance ruling where available.
