How to read an HS code

An HS code describes a product precisely. The first 6 digits are the same worldwide; each country adds more detailed digits after them.

What decides your duties?

  • HS code

    Sets the duty rate that applies to the goods.

  • Customs value

    Usually based on the value of the goods including freight and insurance (CIF).

  • VAT & other taxes

    Such as VAT, plus any additional charges for specific product categories.

  • Trade agreements

    Goods from some countries get exemptions or reductions — with the right certificate of origin.

Common mistakes that delay release

  • Vague product description on the commercial invoice
  • Choosing the wrong HS code
  • Missing permits or certificates required for some goods
  • Mismatched data between the invoice and the bill of lading

Tariff questions

Is the customs tariff fixed?

What do I need to identify the HS code?

An accurate product description, the material it is made of, what it is used for, and sometimes a catalogue or photos.

Who decides the final HS code?

Egyptian Customs approves the final code when reviewing the shipment. Our role is to help you choose the right one from the start to avoid delays.

How accurate is the duty estimate?

It gives a quick indication based on the values you enter. The final amount depends on the customs valuation and any extra fees for your goods — ask us for an exact quote.
