It can be extended with national digits (up to 8, 10, or even 12) to refine taxation and controls.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why is the HS Code so important in international logistics?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Because it directly determines customs duties, VAT, and other applicable taxes. It also speeds up customs clearance, prevents disputes, and guarantees uniformity across countries.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How can I find the HS Code of a product ?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"There are several ways: consult official databases (TARIC in Europe, HTS in the US), use online customs tools, or ask a freight forwarder\\\/broker. A detailed analysis of the product (material, usage, composition) is essential for accurate classification.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Who is best placed to provide the HS Code of a product ?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Technically, the supplier is the most qualified to provide the HS Code, since they know the exact composition and intended use of the goods they manufacture. However, it is strongly recommended to double-check this code using official databases or a customs expert, as mistakes can be costly.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What happens if I use the wrong HS Code ?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Incorrect classification may result in unexpected costs (higher duties), blocked or seized shipments, and even fines for customs fraud. In some cases, it may also cause major delivery delays.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How are customs duties calculated using an HS Code ?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The calculation is based on the CIF value (Cost + Insurance + Freight). Once the HS Code is identified, the corresponding duty rate is applied, followed by VAT and potentially other taxes (excise, anti-dumping duties). Example: for goods valued at \\u20ac10,000 + \\u20ac1,000 freight\\\/insurance, a 5% duty = \\u20ac550.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is there a specific HS Code for personal effects ?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, but their classification is unique.
