HSN Code

In the dynamic landscape of international logistics, precision and compliance are paramount. One crucial element that plays a pivotal role in achieving these goals is the Harmonised System of Nomenclature (HSN) Code. Let’s delve into the significance of HSN Codes and why it is mandatory to include them on all invoices, especially when partnering with Overseas Logistics.

What is HSN Code?

The HSN Code, or Harmonized System of Nomenclature, is an internationally recognized and standardized classification system for traded products. Developed and maintained by the World Customs Organization (WCO), the HSN Code assigns a unique code to each type of product, creating a common language for global trade. This numerical coding system is hierarchical, allowing for detailed classification of goods, and it is used by countries worldwide for customs and tariff purposes.

Why is HSN Code Mandatory on Invoices with Overseas Logistics?

  1. Global Compliance: The inclusion of HSN Codes on invoices aligns with global trade standards, ensuring that your shipments comply with international regulations.
  2. Customs Clearance: HSN Codes streamline customs processes by providing a systematic way to categorise goods. This expedites the clearance of shipments, reducing the risk of delays.
  3. Accuracy and Documentation: The HSN Code enhances the accuracy of your documentation. By clearly specifying the code on invoices, you contribute to error-free records, minimizing the likelihood of complications during transit.
  4. Tariff Determination: HSN Codes play a vital role in determining applicable tariffs and duties. Customs authorities use these codes to assess and levy the appropriate taxes, promoting transparency in financial planning for international shipments.
  5. Trade Facilitation: In an interconnected global market, trade facilitation is crucial. The HSN Code makes your shipments easily understandable and recognizable by stakeholders across the supply chain, fostering efficient trade processes.
