A Goods Description is a detailed description of the goods' name, model, material, and purpose, appearing on invoices, packing lists, and customs declarations. A clear goods description helps customs accurately assign HS codes. Incorrect descriptions (e.g., overly general descriptions) can lead to incorrect tariff classifications or customs clearance delays. Establishing a standardized goods description database can reduce risk and improve compliance.
