    Use AI HS Code Finder

    Not sure of your HS Code? Use Gloseg's built-in AI HS Code Finder tool on the listing form. It automatically suggests the correct harmonized system code based on your product description - critical for AfCFTA preferential tariffs.

    AfCFTA Tagging

    Products with correct HS Codes and origin certificates are automatically tagged as "AfCFTA Eligible", giving you priority placement in buyer searches from African countries.

    SEO Tips for B2B Buyers

    1

    Include HS Code

    Add the 6-digit HS Code in your description for AfCFTA-specific searches and preferential tariff matching.

    2

    Mention Certifications

    Highlight ISO, NAFDAC, KEBS, SON certifications prominently - buyers filter by these.

    3

    Use Specific Quantities

    Say '25kg bags' not 'bulk available'. Specificity converts better in B2B.

    4

    Add Port of Loading

    Buyers factor in shipping logistics. Include your nearest port (e.g., Apapa Port, Lagos).

    5

    State Payment Terms

    List accepted payment terms (L/C, T/T, escrow) to pre-qualify serious buyers.

    Prohibited Content

    • Contact information (phone, email, WhatsApp) in descriptions
    • Links to external websites
    • Competitor brand names or trademarks
    • False claims about certifications or origin
    • Political or discriminatory content
