Register Product NCM/HS Codes on VTEX

The HS Code and NCM are essential for all international sales, as they define the code used for calculating taxes and shipping costs.

To ensure that your international quotes are processed correctly by ShipSmart, each product’s NCM/HS Code must be registered in the VTEX system.

Steps to Register the NCM or HS Code Field in VTEX

Create the NCM Field in VTEX

• In VTEX Admin, go to Catalog > Categories and select the desired product category.
• Create a new field named "NCM" or "HS Code" to record the tax code for each product.
• For more details on creating this field, see the official VTEX guide.

Fill in the NCM Field for Each Product

• Option 1: Manually enter the NCM/ HS Code in Catalog > All Products > Specifications.
• Option 2: Bulk filling using a spreadsheet, found under Catalog > Import and Export > Product Specifications.
• For complete instructions on filling in the NCM/HS Code field, see VTEX's guide on product specifications.

Important:

After filling in the NCM/HS Code field for all products, it’s important to check if quotes are being processed correctly. Products without a registered NCM/HS Code may cause errors in freight and tax calculations.
