Importers and exporters alike require a firm understanding of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) and the Schedule B Code in order to properly apply the rules for classifying their products for import and export. Tariff classifications drive the duty rates that will be applied to imported merchandise, while Schedule B Codes (as well as their HTSUS classification counterparts) are required to be reported in exporters' Electronic Export Information (EEI) filings submitted into the Automated Commercial Environment.

Customs classifications are complex and often not intuitive. Learning the best ways to navigate the legal rules and best practices to properly assign trade classifications to your internationally traded goods will provide accurate rates of duty, improved financial forecasting, and avoid potentially damaging penalties for non-conformance. Correct classifications also provide the cornerstone for many trade agreement rules; therefore, inaccurate classifications can have a cascading effect throughout your global supply chain. It helps you avoid those potential pitfalls.

Further, most trade agreements that provide for landed cost saving opportunities are based, at least in part, on a tariff shift theory, which can only be lawfully accomplished by understanding the rules for assigning import and export classifications.

This session by expert speaker Randi S. Waltuck Barnett will discuss the classification systems, what the legal rules are for applying them to your globally traded goods, and how best to meet the legal standard of exercising reasonable care when assigning classifications to your imported and exported merchandise.
