🇺🇸📦 USA Shipping Update: 10-Digit HTS Codes Required from July 24

🇺🇸📦 USA Shipping Update: 10-Digit HTS Codes Required from July 24

Starting July 24, 2026, all shipments to the USA will require a valid 10-digit HTS code for every product. If you ship products to the USA, please make sure your shipments include products with valid 10-digit HTS codes.  Starting July 24, Swotzy will only be able to create shipment labels for USA shipments when all included products have a valid 10-digit HTS code.

🔄 What's changing?

Until now, many shipments to the USA were cleared using a flat 10% duty rate.

Starting July 24, import duties will instead be calculated based on each product's 10-digit HTS code. This means the applicable duty rate will depend on the type of product being shipped.


✅ Keep your automatic label creation running

We've prepared a step-by-step guide explaining how to update your shipping automation rules for USA shipments.

⚠️ If you use shipping automations, we recommend updating your automation rules before July 24 to ensure your automatic label creation continues to work without interruption.


🔍 Where can you find the correct HTS codes?

You can search for the correct code in the official U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule database.
