    When trading internationally, a simple description isn’t enough — customs authorities require a commodity code (HS Code). But why is that so important?
    • Does a description risk being too vague?
    • How does a code impact duties, VAT, or compliance?
    Share your thoughts or examples where the right (or wrong) code made a big difference.
