Import Duties & Harmonisation Codes

When purchasing from overseas, your local customs authority may charge additional duties, taxes or handling fees. This page helps you estimate potential charges based on the product category (harmonisation code) and destination country.

What is a Harmonisation Code?

A Harmonisation Code (or HS Code) is a 6–10 digit number used internationally to classify traded products.
It helps customs determine duties, taxes, and import restrictions.
