Choosing the Right HS Code for Imports — Let Our Experts Help You Get It Right

Confused About HS Codes? We Help Importers Get It Right – Every Time

If you’re an importer, you’ve probably heard of HS codes—those 6- to 10-digit numbers that show up on shipping documents. But what many businesses don’t realize is how important it is to choose the correct HS code from the start.

An incorrect code can lead to:

• Paying the wrong customs duties

• Shipment delays

• Compliance issues

• Even penalties or fines

At RST Company we help importers navigate this complex process with ease. Our team works with businesses of all sizes to ensure their products are correctly classified, saving time, money, and stress.

What Exactly Is an HS Code?

The Harmonized System (HS) code is a global classification system used by customs authorities around the world to identify products. It determines:

• What duty you pay

• Whether the product is restricted or requires a license

• If the product qualifies for special trade agreements

Sounds simple—but it’s not always straightforward.

Why HS Code Selection Is So Tricky

You can’t just guess a code or pick one based on a vague product name. Customs authorities look at specific factors:

• What the product is made of

• What it’s used for

• How it works

• How it’s packaged or sold

• Whether it’s part of a larger system

Two similar items can have very different HS codes—and very different duty rates.

That’s Where We Come In ?
