Question
How do I find the HTS code for my printed products when shipping internationally?
Answer
An HTS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule) code classifies your product for customs when it crosses a border. 4OVER4 does not assign or provide HTS codes, but your shipping carrier can help you find the right one.
- Ask your carrier: USPS, UPS, and other carriers maintain classification lookups and support for this.
- Describe the materials: tell the carrier what the item is made of, for example coated paper, cardstock, or a plastic-based stock.
- Let them match the code: based on that description they will point you to the correct HTS classification for your shipment.
Having the material details ready before you contact the carrier makes it much faster to land on the right code.
