Add HS codes and the country or region of origin to your products

To display a duties estimate to international customers in your checkout, you should edit your product details to include the country or region of origin and the HS code for better accuracy. If a product is missing an HS code, then calculations are based on the product's description andproduct categoryinstead. If a product doesn't have an HS code, description, or category, then duties and import taxes aren't calculated for that order even if you've set orders from a country or region to collect duties and import taxes at checkout.

The country or region of origin, or COO, is where a product is created or assembled into the form in which you sell it, and where it takes on its HS code classification. For example, you sell a table. The table is made of wood from Canada, glue from Mexico, and screws from China. The table is assembled from these materials in the United States. In this case, the country or region of origin is the United States because that's where the materials are used to create the table.

The Harmonized Item Description and Coding System code, or HS code, is used in international trade to describe what a product is. Typically, the HS code is six digits long. Learn more aboutHS codesfrom the World Customs Organization.

To add an HS code and a country or region of origin to products, choose one of the following options:
