Why Getting the Code Right Matters
Misclassified goods can result in fines, back-payment of unpaid duties, and seizure of shipments. Customs authorities in most countries can audit up to 4 years back.
Canada has FTAs covering 51 countries. The wrong HS code means you may pay full MFN duties when you qualify for 0% under CETA, CPTPP, or CUSMA.
Customs holds triggered by incorrect codes can delay shipments by days or weeks, breaching delivery commitments and damaging buyer relationships.
What Mercorama Gives You

MFN (Most Favoured Nation) duty rate for your product, so you know your baseline cost before negotiating payment terms with your buyer.
Automatically flags whether your product qualifies for reduced or zero duty under Canada's active FTAs — CETA, CPTPP, CUSMA, and others.
Where classification is ambiguous, Mercorama surfaces alternate headings with explanations — so you can review with your broker before filing.
