Yes, a lot of sellers in the forum are saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it! It's always worked before. "...
The point I'm try to make is what worked yesterday may need changing not just to tariffs but also to understand import restrictions. I think we can agree more packages will be opened and scrutinized than in the past.
Old Standby : "The first 2 digits of the code indicate the product category. The next 4 to 6 digits indicate the subcategories the product fits into."
New Canadian Govt issued a heads up to lessen ther possibility of delay/return/disposition: "Countries can add digits to identify products even more specifically, taking the code up to 10 digits. These additional country-specific codes can be changed at any time by the country using them. The 8 or 10 digit HS code used by a country is called a “tariff line”."
It depends on what you sell and where you send it. Not saying delays/returns/dispositions will happen. So far I haven't heard of issues but there are recent warnings.
The other relevant point is the increase in scrutiny. Although they should the import restrictions imposed by countries don't show up in any of those HS code tables you use. If you or anyone has a table that gives both the complete tariff line and a warning of a county specific import restriction at the same time please post the link. This is something eBay could offer for their labels.
Unfortunately we can't see your items as they are blocked from view. Maybe you sell the same things to the same place and the old habits will prevail.
All HS code tables will give you a 6 digit code. The problem is packages are getting more closely scrutinized for content. If your stuff is of a huge vintage variety made from a large variety of materials like mine you are much more likely to have issues with import restrictions.
For example rosewood is restricted in Germany. You will get the HS code from those tables but it can't be shipped into Germany without a Cites Permit. It will be interesting to see if there's a jump in restricted goods issues due to more eyes being on ambiguous tariiff lines.
The guide I use when uncertain about detail is from UPS. You can drill down further to define most items. Most of those sites (including CP) have an up to date country specific handy resticted goods list. The problem with Google is codes and restrictions are country specific and subject to change so you want to be sure the result you get is current. .
