Terms of Use

Core usage terms, platform boundaries, and liability disclaimers for UAE HS Codes visitors.

Last updated: June 3, 2026

Welcome to UAE HS Codes. By accessing or using our directory search tools, calculators, classification guides, and blog, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

1. Description of Service

UAE HS Codes provides an informational directory of Harmonized System (HS) codes, port codes (UN/LOCODE), and shipping carriers, alongside AISEO-optimized trade articles. All tools and information are provided to help simplify your compliance research, but do not constitute official legal or customs clearance advice.

2. Critical Customs & Classification Disclaimer

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER FOR SHIPPERS: The Harmonized System is updated regularly by the World Customs Organization (WCO) and national custom authorities (such as Dubai Customs and the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security). While we strive for accuracy, the final responsibility for correct classification and duty estimation rests solely with the importer or exporter. UAE HS Codes does not guarantee the absolute accuracy of any tariff rate, import policy, or restriction shown.

3. Acceptable Use and Restrictions

You agree to use this website only for lawful purposes related to cargo shipping, customs classification, or logistics research. You are strictly prohibited from:

Using automated scripts, scrapers, or web crawlers to harvest our database records or content directories without explicit written authorization.
Interfering with server performance, attempting security exploits, or bypassing query limits.
Submitting fraudulent inquiries or spamming contact forms with unverified links.

4. Intellectual Property

The compilation of the database directories, user interface elements, graphic designs, custom code, and editorial blog articles is the exclusive property of UAE HS Codes and its technology partners. You may copy individual port codes, carrier callsigns, or HS codes for direct operational use, but compiling large-scale copies of our directory tables for commercial resale is forbidden.

5. Advertising and Third-Party Links

UAE HS Codes displays advertisements served by Google Adsense and other third-party vendors. These ads enable us to keep our search tools and compliance guides free for all shippers. We are not responsible for the quality, reliability, or safety of external links or promotions displayed in these advertisements.

6. Limitation of Liability

Under no circumstances shall UAE HS Codes, its editorial team, or its developers be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, shipping delays, customs penalties, cargo seizures, or tariff estimation losses) resulting from the use or inability to use the information on this website.

7. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued usage of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
