Hello, it seems HS codes are going to be more stringent and required on international shipments from March, our courrier account managers have told us....

We are already using the general available categories using the default fallback catch all for all our items.

Looking at the docs we are able to send a predetermined category string when creating a shipment

https://developers.easyship.com/v1.0/reference/create-a-shipment

However is it possible to send an actual HS code?

Looking at the list of 'Toy' categories, there are a huge number of sub categories,
https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/headings/9503

From my current understanding, the Easyship dedicated HS code for the Toy category is HS#95030099
(Toy, Other, Other)

Say for example, we wish to send the HS code HS#95030069 (Toy, Puzzle, Other)

How would we do this as it does not seem possible apart from manually creating a label

Thank you if you can advise, or if you are able to say with confidence that the generalised HS code categories are enough to cover all types of products and there should be no issue exporting (to the customer) without specifying the detailed category at a B2C level.

Best regards
