HS Codes - UK Guide helpful

[pocomocomputing]

I came across these Guides on the UK government site. The guides have explanations and real products for HS codes. It makes a lot more sense to read these guides to figure out where an item should be classified. I found the one for Computer Products very useful.

Although it is for UK small business, the HS Codes are universal for the first 6 digits which is what is needed for PayPal shipping labels for Canada Post.

Take a look and see if any are helpful. Post back any comments.

I have been reading the computer guide and it is so detailed and clear where computer parts are classified. In simple readable English. Amazing document.

I do not know about the other guides but if they are as good as the computer one, it will help a lot in figuring out codes.

Here is the guide for classifying computers and software if you want to look at it.

I just use Canada Posts website. While there seem to be issues with very unique items, for the bulk of items the website chooses the correct HS code.
