Nothing about your taxability changes on its own. Each legacy code resolves to one broad Z-code, though, so remapping to the most specific code gives the most precise result. A child’s swimsuit on the legacy swimwear code resolves to general swimwear (Z-CAP600). Remapped to Z-CAP601, it gets the children’s rule wherever a state has one.

How to move to the new codes.

  1. Find your clothing products. List the items in your catalog assigned to a legacy R_TPP_APPAREL code.

  2. Pick the most specific Z-code. General codes such as Z-CAP000 are only for items no specific code describes.

  3. Update the code on each item. Assign it in your catalog, or send it on each transaction line item through the API.

The full list of codes, with descriptions and examples, is in the Zamp Product Tax Codes guide. For help mapping your catalog, reach out to your account manager or Zamp support.
