HS stands for Harmonized System — a global product classification maintained by the World Customs Organization. Every traded product has a 6-digit HS code that customs authorities use to decide the duty rate and any restrictions. The first 6 digits are the same in every country, which is why this lookup works internationally.

What is the difference between an HS code, an HTS code and a commodity code?

They share the same first 6 digits. “HS code” is the 6-digit international root. Countries then add more digits for their own tariff: the US calls its 10-digit version an HTS code, the EU uses a 10-digit TARIC code, and the UK uses a 10-digit commodity code. Start with the HS code here, then look up the extra digits in the destination country’s tariff.

How many digits do I actually need?

For a customs declaration you usually need the full country code — 8 digits for exports, 10 for imports in most countries. The 6-digit HS code shown here is enough to find the right heading and get a duty estimate; add the country-specific digits before you file the actual paperwork.

What happens if I use the wrong HS code?

An incorrect code can mean paying too much duty, having a parcel held or inspected at customs, or — if customs sees it as under-declaration — fines. When in doubt, use the official Binding Tariff Information service in the destination country or ask a customs broker to confirm.

Is this lookup official?

No — it’s a quick reference covering the products people import most often, accurate to the 6-digit subheading. It is not legal classification advice. Always verify the full code against the importing country’s official tariff schedule before declaring goods.

How do I track a parcel with Parceler?

Simply enter your tracking number in the search box at the top of this page, click "Track", then select your carrier from the popup. We'll display the full shipment history and current status instantly.

Why do I need to select a carrier manually?

Many carriers use overlapping tracking number formats, so automatic detection can lead to incorrect results. By letting you choose your carrier, we guarantee accurate tracking every single time. You'll find your carrier name on your shipment confirmation email or receipt.

Is Parceler free to use?

Yes! Basic parcel tracking on the web is completely free. Our iOS app is also free to download and use, with optional premium features available for power users who want advanced notifications and analytics.

Which carriers does Parceler support?

Parceler supports over 3,200 carriers including FedEx, UPS, DHL, USPS, Royal Mail, Bluedart, Delhivery, DTDC, Ekart, India Post, Aramex, and hundreds more from across Asia, Europe, Americas, and beyond.

Is the iOS app available on Android?

Currently, Parceler is available exclusively on iOS (iPhone and iPad). An Android version is in active development — sign up with your email to be notified when it launches.

How often is tracking information updated?

Tracking data is pulled directly from carrier systems in real-time whenever you refresh or check a shipment. For the iOS app, background refresh keeps your package list up-to-date automatically throughout the day.

What is the best app to track all my packages in one place?

Parceler is a free, all-in-one parcel tracking app that lets you follow every package from 3,200+ carriers worldwide in a single place — no need to visit each carrier's website. Just paste any tracking number to see real-time status, the full delivery timeline, and a unified map that stitches together carrier handoffs.

Can I track packages from all carriers in one app?

Yes. Parceler is a universal, multi-carrier tracker that supports over 3,200 couriers including FedEx, UPS, DHL, USPS, Royal Mail, Aramex, India Post, Delhivery, Bluedart and DTDC. Add as many shipments as you like and watch them all from one dashboard instead of juggling separate tracking sites.

Do I need an account or sign-up to track a package?

No. You can track any package on the Parceler website for free without creating an account — just enter your tracking number and pick your carrier. Signing up (or using the iOS app) is optional and only unlocks extras like saved shipments and push notifications.

Can I track international orders from Amazon, AliExpress, Temu or SHEIN?

Yes. Once your order ships, the confirmation email lists a tracking number and carrier — for example AliExpress and Temu often ship via Cainiao, and Amazon via Amazon Logistics or a local courier. Paste that number into Parceler to follow the parcel across borders, through customs, and all the way to your door.

The first 6 digits shown are harmonized worldwide. Destination countries add 2–4 more digits for the exact duty rate — confirm the full code with the importing country’s customs tariff before shipping.

Every parcel that crosses a border needs an HS code — the commodity code customs uses to work out duty, tax and whether the goods are restricted. Get it wrong and the package can be delayed, inspected or over-charged. Search the product below to find its internationally-valid 6-digit code, then use it to estimate your import charges.

How to find the right code

1
Search the product
Type what the item actually is — “running shoes”, “smartphone”, “roasted coffee”. You can also type the first digits of a code you already have.
2
Match the description
Read the tariff description next to each result. HS codes classify by material and use, so “cotton t-shirt” and “wool sweater” sit under different headings.
3
Take the 6-digit code
Copy the 6-digit HS code. It is valid worldwide and is the root of every country’s longer tariff number.
4
Add the country digits
Look the 6-digit code up in the destination country’s tariff (US HTS, EU TARIC, UK Global Tariff) to get the full code and the exact duty rate.

How an HS code is built

61chapter·09heading·10subheading

Reading 6109.10 left to right: chapter 61 (knitted apparel), heading 6109 (T-shirts & vests), subheading 6109.10 (of cotton). Each pair of digits narrows the product down.

Why the code matters

The HS code is the single biggest factor in how much duty you pay — two similar-looking products can carry very different rates. It also drives customs clearance speed: a clear, correct code lets a parcel be assessed automatically, while a missing or vague one flags it for manual review. For sellers it decides landed cost and margin; for shoppers it’s the difference between a smooth delivery and a surprise bill at the door.
