Country guides

HS codes are standardized at 6 digits worldwide, but every country extends the code differently. Pick a lane below for code format, duty notes, and documentation.

• US → EU

  HS Codes for Shipping from the US to the EU

  Shipping from the US to the EU uses the EU's 8-digit Combined Nomenclature (CN) plus an optional 2-digit TARIC suffix. The first 6 digits match the international HS code; you'll need EORI registration and an EU import declaration.

• US → UK

  HS Codes for Shipping from the US to the UK

  Since Brexit, the UK uses its own 10-digit UK Global Tariff (UKGT). The first 6 digits still match the international HS code, but the UK-specific extension and rates may differ from the EU CN.

• US → Canada

  HS Codes for Shipping from the US to Canada

  Canada uses 10-digit HS codes managed by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). USMCA-qualifying goods can enter duty-free with a valid certification of origin.

• China → US

  HS Codes for Shipping from China to the US

  Imports from China to the US use the US 10-digit HTS code and, in most cases, carry Section 301 List 1–4A tariffs on top of the base MFN rate. Many product categories see an extra 7.5–25%.

• US → Mexico

  HS Codes for Shipping from the US to Mexico

  Mexico uses 10-digit TIGIE codes (Tarifa de la Ley de los Impuestos Generales de Importación y de Exportación). USMCA preferential rates apply with valid origin certification.
