I’m sure you’ll agree that sometimes international shipping can be real hassle, especially when it comes to duties and taxes. Here's a good example: an InXpress client recently received a duties & taxes bill from DHL that seemed rather high. When they reviewed the bill more thoroughly, they found that their supplier overseas used an incorrect Harmonized Tariff Schedule (“Schedule B”). It resulted in U.S. Customs charging an amount to our customer (via DHL) that was roughly twice what it should have been. In these cases, please know that we and DHL can help you fix this with a little bit of information! The DHL Duties and Taxes Department can provide you with not only the suggested HTS Codes for your commodities but the duty & tax % as well. We encourage you to double-check your duties and tax bills and to ensure that your suppliers are using the correct HTS / Schedule B codes – it really can add up if you don't monitor it.
