Country of Origin Field Now Available for Product Variants – Kase-Fulfillment

We're excited to announce that a new Country of Origin (COO) field is now live in the app! This update helps streamline international shipping by allowing clients to easily manage COO and HTS (Harmonized Tarif Schedule) codes directly in the system. This enhancement supports both manual updates and API integration, giving you more flexibility and control over your product data.

🌍What is Country of Origin (COO)?

The Country of Origin refers to the country where a product was manufactured, produced, or substantially transformed. It is a required data point for all international shipments and plays a key role in determining duties, tariffs, and admissibility into the destination country.

📦What is an HTS Code?

An HTS Code, or Harmonized Tariff Schedule code, is a standardized 10-digit number used to classify traded goods. It is required by customs authorities to assess:

Applicable import duties
Eligibility for trade programs or exemptions
Product admissibility based on trade restrictions

Both COO and HTS codes must be declared accurately to avoid shipment delays, compliance issues, or unexpected fees.

If you are Shipping internationally, and both the COO and HTS Codes are not added to the product page data, label creation will fail, and order will be delayed.

🔍Where can you find COO and HTS Information?

Supplier Documentation: Most manufacturers or suppliers will provide this on commercial invoices or product spec sheets.
U.S. International Trade Commission HTS Search Tool: https://hts.usitc.gov
Customs Broker or Trade Compliance Consultant: If you're unsure, your customs broker can assist with accurate classification.
