Export logistics servicesHS codes explainedExport
An HS (Harmonized System) code classifies your goods. Customs use it to apply duties, taxes and rules. Use the correct code on your invoice, and ask us if you are unsure which one applies.
Ask our teamSending product samplesExport
Samples usually travel by courier. Describe them clearly, state a value, and ask whether a commercial invoice is needed for your destination.
