HS Code Search is an AI tool that turns a product URL or a plain description into the correct HS tariff code in seconds, then adds country-specific codes and duty estimates.
About HS Code Search
What Is HS Code Search
HS Code Search is an AI classification tool for anyone who ships goods across a border. You paste a product link or describe the item, and it returns the six-digit HS code that customs authorities expect, plus the longer local codes used by more than 20 markets. It's built for importers, exporters, ecommerce sellers, and freight forwarders who would otherwise dig through tariff books or guess.
The Harmonized System is the global numbering scheme the World Customs Organization maintains for traded goods. Get the code wrong and a shipment can sit at the border, get hit with recalculated duties, or draw a fine. Getting it right usually means hours of manual lookup. HS Code Search compresses that into a single step by reading the product itself.
The tool runs on a credit system and hands out free credits when you create an account. The catch is that every code it returns is an estimate produced by AI models, not a ruling from a licensed customs expert. The company behind it, Vasja Bocko s.p., says so plainly in its terms and tells you to verify every code with the relevant authority before you use it on a real declaration. There's no public pricing page yet, so what you pay after the free credits depends on the plan you're offered inside the app.
Getting Started
- Open hs-code-search.com and sign in with your email. There's no password to set, since the site emails you a one-time code.
- Paste a product URL from Shopify, Amazon, or a supplier page, or type the product name and details yourself.
- Let the AI read the item and return the six-digit HS code, with the reasoning behind the match.
- Pick your target markets to get the full local code, from 8 to 12 digits, plus estimated duty rates based on country of origin.
- Review the saved result in your classification history, reclassify if details change, or push the code to a connected Shopify store.

Key features
Instant AI Classification
The tool takes a product URL or a written description and returns the six-digit HS code in seconds. It reads the product rather than matching a keyword, so a link to a supplier page is often enough. The result comes with the reasoning behind it, which helps you spot a bad match before it reaches a declaration.
Country-Specific Codes
A single lookup extends past the global six digits to the full local tariff code for more than 20 markets, and that set covers the US, EU, UK, Canada, Japan, and Australia. It removes the separate step of re-matching a code in each destination's national schedule, which is where a lot of manual errors creep in.
Shopify Integration
You connect a store and the tool reads your product catalog, then writes HS codes and country-of-origin data back to your Shopify inventory items. Bulk classification covers a whole catalog at once, and you can revoke the store's access from settings whenever you want.
Duty Rate Estimates
Enter the country of origin and the tool shows estimated import duty rates for each destination market before you ship. That turns classification into a cost input, not just a paperwork step, and helps you compare routes or set prices with duties already in the number.
WCO HS 2022 Validation
Every code is checked against the official WCO Harmonized System 2022 database. That's the same nomenclature customs authorities work from, so the output lines up with current tariff rules rather than an older revision that no longer applies.
Classification History
Each result is saved to your account, so you can review past lookups, reclassify when a product changes, and build a record for audits. The history is what makes the tool usable across a catalog over time instead of a one-off HS code finder you have to repeat from scratch.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Returns a working HS code from a product link or a sentence, which cuts the lookup from hours to seconds.
- Adds country-specific codes and duty estimates in the same pass, so one entry covers classification and cost.
- Shopify sync writes codes back to inventory, so a merchant avoids hand-keying a large catalog.
- Validates against the WCO HS 2022 database, so results track the current global nomenclature.
- Saves every classification to an account history you can revisit later.
Cons
- Every code is an AI estimate, not a customs ruling, so you still have to verify it with the relevant authority before a real shipment.
- No public pricing page, so the cost after the free credits only shows up once you're inside the app.
- The Shopify integration is the only store connection, which leaves sellers on other platforms doing the sync by hand.
- Without an exposed API, the classification can't be folded into an automated customs or logistics workflow.
