This is useful when:

With Smart HS Code, you can enter the item name, such as “ceramic bowl” or “storage box”, and the system helps suggest a suitable HS Code for the customs declaration.
This reduces the need to search for the code manually.
Auto Pre-fill Address (Smart Address)
Paste the complete sender or receiver address into Smart Address, and the system automatically separates the details into the relevant address fields.
This saves time and helps reduce address-entry mistakes.
All-In-One Tracking (EasyTrack)
Monitor your parcel’s journey from pickup in Japan to delivery in Singapore using EasyTrack.
Depending on the selected options, you may also keep the recipient informed through:
- Tracking SMS
