As of July 1, 2025, the next global revision of the HS codes (Harmonized System codes) will come into effect. These changes, established by the World Customs Organization (WCO), may impact how your goods are classified and declared to customs.
What do the changes mean for you?
If your company imports or exports goods, this means you will likely need to:
- Review and update your existing HS codes
- Adjust product classifications to ensure consistency with the new structure
- Avoid delays, incorrect declarations or compliance risks
While the changes are technical, the consequences of incorrect codes can be significant. Including incorrect duties, shipment delays or audit findings.
Our Customs Compliance specialists closely monitor HS code changes and know what to look out for. We help you:
- Identify which of your codes are affected
- Reclassify products in line with the new HS structure
- Update your internal documentation and systems
With our support, you stay compliant without disrupting your operations.
