Understanding and Adding HS Codes in eHub Ship

Including accurate HS Codes on international shipments ensures:

• Correct tariffs and tax calculations

• Compliance with local and international shipping regulations

Using the correct code prevents delays and keeps your global shipments moving smoothly.
