Customs description checker
Shipping
Check customs goods descriptions before you ship. Flags the vague wording EU customs (ICS2) rejects, category-only descriptions, product codes and missing materials.
What it does
- Flags wording the EU's ICS2 system refuses
- Catches category-only and one-word descriptions
- Spots product codes customs cannot use
- Shows where long descriptions get cut
Good for
- Before printing customs forms
- Cleaning a product catalogue
- Checking marketplace listings
Send up to 50 descriptions at once. It is advice on wording, not a customs ruling, and it does not pick tariff codes.
