USA shipping code

[pressbrake1]

Hello I’ve gone through the shipping codes for export to the USA
I can’t find anything similar.
I’m good with engineering but shocking with internet.
Can someone help please
I’ve got to send some cast iron straight edges
Thanks

do you mean zip codes or just the US part

@pressbrake1 I have never bothered. I just fill out the customs declaration with a brief description, Jigsaw, pneumatic valve etc and a value. I have never declared a "commercial" transaction. Too much paperwork, as I think you have discovered. As long as it is not your "primary source of income".

You need a export code to describe the goods. Government site gives me option of milling cutters or bolt cutters!

Tried that before, they wouldn’t collect

Is this any good

HS code list finder and HS tariff database lookup

The HS code is a worldwide terminology for the classification of items used by customs. Look here for the full 2-digit list and a link to the 6-digit list.

Clucking Bell. As if we don't have enough to do.

Sending stuff to Cheshire is a lot easier

I think it was Hermes I used to send stuff to @Barking Mat and they had a fairly decent walkthrough list to get the code, might be worth using them to get the code even though you cancel before you complete.

I tried organising a courrier to collect stuff from the UK, after a hour battling government Eori numbers I gave up.

Yes, that was you @Hood .
