1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using FindHSCodes.com ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our website.

2. Description of Service

FindHSCodes.com provides an automated tool designed to assist users in identifying potential Harmonized System (HS) codes. You acknowledge that the Service is a search and suggestion tool, not a definitive legal authority for customs classification.

3. User Obligations and Verification

  • No Reliance: You agree that you will not rely solely on the codes provided by the Service for legal or commercial documentation.
  • Independent Audit: You are responsible for independently verifying any HS code provided by the Service with the relevant national customs authority (e.g., CBP in the USA, HMRC in the UK) or a licensed customs broker.
  • Compliance: You are responsible for ensuring your use of the Service complies with all local and international trade laws.

4. Intellectual Property

All content, algorithms, search results, and branding on FindHSCodes.com are the exclusive property of the Website owners. You may not scrape, reverse-engineer, or redistribute our data for commercial purposes without prior written consent.

5. No Warranties (The "As-Is" Clause)

The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. We expressly disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that the codes provided are 100% accurate.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, FindHSCodes.com and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including but not limited to:

  • Customs fines, penalties, or retroactive duty assessments.
  • Storage fees or demurrage caused by shipment delays.
  • Seizure or forfeiture of goods by government agencies.
  • Loss of revenue or business reputation.
