Customs officials use the declared value of an item to determine duties and taxes. Local customs and duty charges are typically based on the Harmonized Schedule Code (or HS Code, a 6-digit code recognized by most countries that describes your product category) you declare. Each country determines specific duties based on the country of origin. Sales taxes, on the other hand, will normally be the same no matter the country of origin and be based primarily on the total order value of a transaction or shipment.
The Getting to Global Duties & Taxes Calculator will help you determine the duties & taxes that you or your customers will have to pay.
