"Classification Under the U.S. Harmonized Tariff & Schedule B" Webinar

An understanding of the Harmonized System is essential for importers and exporters alike. Proper classification under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule or Harmonized Schedule B is a regulatory requirement under the Customs Modernization Act and export controls.

We will also discuss how this affects the new “Countervailing Duties” on goods from China and other origins.

This program will provide those new to importing or exporting, as well as the seasoned professional a solid understanding of the classification process. It will also benefit anyone involved in determining eligibility for Free Trade Agreements.

• Understand the Harmonized System and when to use the Harmonized Tariff or Schedule B
• Master the General Rules of Interpretation, General Notes, and Trade Preference Provisions to correctly classify your imports for advantageous duty rates
• Learn how product modification, trade agreements, and preference programs can reduce duty paid
• Learn how to obtain classification ruling from USBP or other government agencies
• Learn what “tools” are out there to assist with your classification process
• Avoid fines, penalties, overpayment of duties, and other regulatory compliance problems

Who Will Benefit:
