Need help with international shipping preparation?

FedEx International Shipping Assist Lite allows you to identify a Harmonised System Code for your international shipment with or without a FedEx account.

A Harmonised System Code or HS code is a list of numbers used by customs to classify a product. It is also known as a tariff or commodity code. It is important that you mention the HS code of the commodity you are shipping on the commercial invoice and other shipping documents, along with the description of the goods, to avoid customs delays and ensure the correct duty and tax rate is applied.

If you need more help with international shipping preparation you can sign in to FedEx International Shipping Assist with your FedEx account and let us provide your Harmonised System Code, estimated duty and tax rate, and templates for you to complete your customs export documentation.
