What are the HS CODEs for paper products?

In foreign trade business, it is usually called customs code, that is, HS code, which is the abbreviation of Coordinated Coding System. Its full name is the International Convention for Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (Harmonized System, abbreviated as HS).

What is the use of HS CODE?

The HS code is a universal standard for describing commodity types worldwide, the so-called international standard. If each commodity wants to enter other countries, it must be declared to the customs department through this code. This can standardize codes around the world and facilitate international trade among countries.

In which link is HS CODE used?

When handling the import or export of goods, the consignee or consignor of the imported or exported goods entrusts a customs declaration company or makes a customs declaration to the customs on his own and enters the electronic data of the customs declaration form. At this time, he must accurately fill in the HS CODE corresponding to the imported and exported goods.

How do I check the HS CODE corresponding to import and export goods?

Search through the import and export tariffs of the country where you are located. Taking thermal paper as an example, you must retrieve the accurate HS CODE in the tariffs through the product name, material, function, use, principle, and other data. These data are also required for customs declaration—product declaration element content. There are chapter and category notes in the tariff rules, and the item notes are an important guide for our daily inquiries. To accurately query HS CODE, understanding product knowledge and proficiency in using tax regulations are two essential conditions.

What are the risks of incorrect declaration of HS CODE?

1. The goods are detained: The customs clearance process may result in customs being unable to classify and evaluate goods correctly.
2. The inspection rate is improved: It may be defined as concealment of declaration, thereby lowering the credit level of the company. Customs clearance inspections for companies with low credit levels will be stepped up.
3. Pay back taxes or even fines: If the customs discovers under-collection or omission of taxes after the goods are released, they must pay back duties, late fees, or fines.

What should I do if I cannot determine whether the HS CODE is accurate?

There are many types of imported and exported goods. There are many products where it is difficult to confirm the HS CODE accurately. In this case, we can apply to the customs for a customs pre-ruling. The company submits samples and product descriptions to the customs to apply for a pre-ruling of the commodity code. Carrying out actual import and export business after obtaining the HS CODE after the ruling will greatly reduce corporate risks.
