Understand the hierarchy of classification using the General Rules of Interpretation
This
workshop focuses on how the Harmonized System is structured, how it
works, and how to apply that knowledge to properly classify
goods. We’ll take you step-by-step through the General Rules of
Interpretation that govern how the hierarchy of classification is
applied to arrive at the correct commodity code. Read our White Paper entitled "Rules for using the Harmonized System"and learn how to properly classify your merchandise under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
Benefits of Attending
A
thorough knowledge of the Harmonized System is essential for anyone
involved in global trade. Proper classification under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedules is a regulatory requirement under the
Customs Modernization Act to evidence informed compliance and the
exercise of reasonable care.
If
you are involved in trade with Canada and Mexico under the NAFTA or
recent trade agreements with Chile, Singapore, and Australia; and the
Central America-Dominican Republic you should attend. Proper
classification is absolutely critical to establishing the eligibility
of goods for preferential tariff treatment. Your company can benefit
from the competitive advantages of NAFTA eligible goods determined only
by proper classification.
Proper classification can affect the duty paid on imported merchandise – why pay more then necessary?
In
Customs audits or compliance assessments, officials will review and
assess the classification process and decisions.
Who Should Attend
This course is a basic primer for those new to importing, exporting, or the classification process.
It
is also an excellent refresher for active practitioners, who want to
hone and refine their skills. Personnel involved in qualifying
goods for eligibility under the NAFTA and other FTAs will find this
program of significant value. Anyone new to a position in which
classifications were previously determined will want to attend to
ensure their accuracy. |
