International HsCode
The HS Code, or Harmonized System Code, is a globally standardized numerical code used to identify goods for customs purposes. It streamlines trade by providing a unique identifier for products.
To retrieve the HS Code for your international shipment payload, particularly within the items object, follow these two steps:
Call the Chapters endpoint to obtain a preliminary categorization of the goods.
Use the response from the Chapters endpoint to call the Categories endpoint, from which you can retrieve the specific HS Code.
