🌍 Global Trade Made Simple with SmartShip.ie

At SmartShip.ie, we make international shipping across Europe and non-European regions efficient, compliant, and worry-free. Whether you’re sending consumer electronics to the US or importing textiles from Asia, our expert team ensures all goods are accurately classified using HS Codes—the global standard for customs clearance.

🔢 What Are HS Codes and Why They Matter?

HS Codes (Harmonized System Codes) are internationally recognized numerical codes assigned to every type of product shipped across borders. They are the backbone of customs declarations and determine:

• Import tariffs and duty rates

• Export eligibility and restrictions

• Product classification and origin tracking

At SmartShip.ie, we assist you in identifying the correct HS codes for your goods, ensuring faster customs clearance and preventing costly delays or penalties.
