Enforce HS Tariff code field requirement for EU countries in WCS&T UI #2720

Closed laurajohnsonwoo closed 4 months ago

laurajohnsonwoo commented 9 months ago

We need to update the WCS&T label purchase customs section to meet updated EU customs requirements.

For cross-border shipments bound for EU countries:

  1. Remove "Optional" language from HS Tariff code field
  2. Make field required

Reference:

Per USPS, "Both HS code and country of origin (for commercial items) are conditional requirements of the destination countries. See IMM 123.711 for more details.

The HS Code is required by EU countries. As an example, I have copied below the top of the Germany ICL which states this:

Country Conditions for Mailing — Germany

All items containing goods must include the corresponding 6-digit harmonized system code for each article listed on the customs declaration form. For more information, see 537 and the Observations section below."

We may have a similar issue with Switzerland - this from 8272375-zen. The merchant in that ticket shared this: https://pe.usps.com/text/imm/immc5_010.htm
