Understand the hierarchy of classification using the General Rules of Interpretation. Unz & Co. provides answers. 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.
A thorough knowledge of the Harmonized System is essential for anyone involved in global trade. Proper classification under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule is a regulatory requirement under the Customs Modernization Act to evidence informed compliance and the exercise of reasonable care.
This course is a basic primer for those new to importing, exporting or the classification process. It is 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 ensure their accuracy.
