Understanding Your HS Code Confidence Score

What is the HS Code Confidence Score?

The HS Code Confidence score is designed to help you gauge the accuracy of the HS Code suggested for your product. This score is based on the description you provide. The more precise and detailed your description, the higher the confidence score will be.

What to Do if You Get a Low Confidence Score

If you receive a low confidence score, don't worry. Here are the steps you can take:

Check the Description: Review the description we surface from the tariff book.
Accurate Description: If the description accurately reflects your product, you can proceed with the suggested HS Code.
Inaccurate Description: If the description does not match your product, try writing a clearer and more detailed product description. Then, resubmit to get a new confidence score.

Tips for Writing a Clear Product Description

A correctly written customs description is crucial to help our system find the correct HS code.

Be Specific: Include all relevant details about your product, such as its materials, use, and unique features.
Use Common Terms: Avoid using industry jargon that might not be recognised universally.
Check for Accuracy: Ensure that the description matches your product exactly.

👍 Here are some examples of well written customs descriptions: Mens Cotton T-shirt, Women’s Straw Hat, 1,000-piece Cardboard Jigsaw Puzzle.

👎 Some examples of poor customs descriptions: “Parts”, “Apparel”, “Cosmetics”. These are too vague and don't help the customs agent to understand exactly which commodity they are looking at.


By following these guidelines, you can improve the confidence score of your HS Code suggestions and ensure smoother export processes.

Summary:

HS Code Confidence Score: Indicates how accurate the HS Code suggestion is based on your product description.
Low Confidence Score: Review and improve your product description for accuracy or contact support for help.
Writing Tips: Be specific, avoid jargon, and ensure accurate description to improve your confidence score.
