Classification questions to answer

  1. Is the garment woven rather than knitted?
  2. Is it designed for men or boys?
  3. What is the fibre composition and national garment type?

Record the product's materials, construction, function and technical specifications. Those facts are more useful than a supplier's suggested code when selecting a national line.

Estimate a shipment

Select the importing country, then compare the returned description with the product facts above.

Shipment value

Most duty is a percentage of value. Some products use weight, quantity or volume; those parts are shown as not priced until the required unit can be calculated.

Estimate only. Duty and VAT/GST are calculated where the available rate data supports it; unpriced fees, exemptions, quotas, or eligibility rules can still change the final customs bill.
