If you're subscribed to the Avalara Item Classification service, these APIs allow you to submit products for Item Classification and retrieve the corresponding HS Codes.

Notes:

• Avalara Item Classification is a billable service. If the service is not enabled, the API will not provide a response.
• In the development environment (Sandbox), the service will not return HS Codes. Instead, requests will remain in a pending status by default. Use the hs_code_test parameter in your Sandbox/integration environment to pass an HS Code directly. In this case the product will not be reviewed by any operator, and a response will be sent back in a matter of minutes.

There are two subscription options for the Item Classification API:

• Item Classification With Storage: Your item metadata is automatically stored as an Avalara Item object. This enables easy referencing of your items and metadata throughout Avalara using your own SKU.
• Item Classification Without Storage: You have the flexibility to store your classified items in a manner that best suits your needs. If you opt for this, you can optionally set up a webhook to receive your classifications.
