At SLA Logistics, we help businesses navigate the complexities of international trade by understanding key customs terminology. HS Codes, or Harmonised System Codes, are used to classify goods and determine the duties and tariffs applicable during import and export. Tariffs are taxes imposed on goods entering or leaving a country, while duties are similar fees, but often more specific to the type of product. Knowing your HS Codes is crucial for calculating the costs involved in international shipping and ensuring compliance. SLA Logistics provides expert advice on customs requirements, helping you avoid costly delays and penalties.
