Avalara Item Classification automates the complex process of determining HS codes, taking into consideration country, product attributes, and other factors.
Avalara uses an efficient, automated process and machine learning to map products to full, country-specific tariff codes (10–12 digits).
Calculate and collect the customs duty and import taxes up front, allowing Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) shipments and improving customer satisfaction by avoiding delays and surprise charges.
Using incorrect HS codes can result in delivery delays or heavy fines; having a broker or carrier assign codes can add unnecessary costs — and you could be liable if they get it wrong.
Item Classification offers HS code support for over 180 countries and nearly all territories.
