US postal services require international trade cargoes to provide a six -digit coordinated system code that begins on September 1, according to an agency published on August 7.
The appropriate HS codes should be placed in each bulletin, regardless of the postal class, regardless of the postal class. The HS code system, built by the World Customs Organization, allows customs authorities to classify the goods and evaluate tariffs.
This change also aligns postal standards with the new World Postal Union regulations, and will also be implemented on September 1. According to a Customs Guide 2024 from the World Postal Union and the World Customs Organization, member states must need a six -digit code for commercial goods. “Countries can go through eight or 10 digits under their national law,” the guide added.
“HS code is very important to ensure clearance of financial customs and is important for the volume of e -commerce,” the guide said.
Postal services and international transport providers have a system and tool to help transport transport, but the product description is a clear use of the correct HS code. Otherwise, a transport can return to the sender or evaluate a higher task than what he had to do.
“The search tool is just as good as the data they are being fed,” said Lilafield.
Some postal services customers may try to carry packages without HS code, but most likely will lead to the rejection of customs officers in the destination country.
“If you send it without that HS code, it probably won’t be a good result for the consumer,” he said.
The need for an HS code is run three days after another change for international postal transportation. At the start of August 29, the US postal packages must face tasks equal to international economic power tariffs or $ 80 to $ 200 at the IEPA rate. The charges were added as part of the Trump administration’s move to end de Minimis.
