HS code to ship 3 DVD's from U.S. to Italy??

[bst555]

Shipping 3 DVD's from the U.S. to Italy. While buying a postage label from the Paypal Shipstation I am asked for an HS code.

Please let me know what code should I use.

Full HS code for shipping to Italy as follows. 8523.00.00.00 - Discs, tapes, solid-state non-volatile storage devices, 'smart cards' and other media for the recording of sound or of other phenomena, whether or not recorded, including matrices and masters for the production of discs, but excluding products of Chapter 37. Very good straight forward for searching. https://www.tariffinder.ca/en/getStarted Lotz

Although 8523 is valid in terms of the general HS Code category, on Customs forms I prefer using the more specific 6-letter code:

Just taking no chances in case a country has specific tariffs, duties, or taxes distinguishing  'Unrecorded' Optical Media (8523.41) from 'Other' Optical Media (8523.49), or even 'Other/Discs for laser reading systems'  (8523.49.10).

For most destinations, these are probably distinctions without a difference. But we are talking about the EU here...

I record my most-used HS codes in the back of my accounts book. Much faster than googling.

The harmonized codes are universal-- so the number given is correct

Thank you! That's what I thought but I'm no expert, I come here for the wealth of knowledge you guys have!

I think you should ask on the US forum, this is the Canadian board and I don't know if it may be a little different different here.

I think the code is 8523 for DVD's but that is when I look at the Canada Post web site, I think US may require more info (longer HS numbers) better to check there.
