Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureBorderdesk checks every product for an HS code, country of origin and a clear customs description, and suggests HS codes for the ones that are missing. Codes go into Shopify's own customs fields, so your label tools use them too.
Shipping outside the EU or the UK needs paperwork. This app fills commercial invoices, proforma invoices and CN23 declarations from your orders and the HS codes, countries of origin and weights you keep in Shopify. Create one or up to 250 at once, as one PDF or a ZIP. A pre-shipment check lists open orders with missing customs data. Prints your EORI, VAT and IOSS numbers and an optional EU–UK statement on origin.
