We currently create customs declarations from order items in Ship Station, but we have a lot of items which have the same HS code.

It would be useful if there was an option to automatically group items with the same HS code into a single line on the customs declaration.

 

For instance, change:

1 x birthday card

1 x birthday card

1 x christmas card

1 x wrapping paper

 

to:

3 x greetings cards

1 x wrapping paper

 

Many thanks.

second on this change. CA is charging fee per item line now so automating it via HS code or product type would help the manual work

Hi everyone,

Thank you for sharing this! You both bring up incredibly valid points—especially with Canada now charging customs clearance fees per item line.

Currently, ShipStation does not have a feature to automatically group or merge items with the same HS code into a single customs line.

I am submitting this directly to our product team as a feature request. Adding an automation toggle to 'Aggregate Customs by HS Code' would save you all a massive amount of time. Thank you for outlining this use case so clearly!
