Introduction to customs classification rules and notes training content:

In this customs classification rules and notes trade compliance training, we will look at some guidelines, such as the  general rules and existing notes used during the customs classification process of imported goods.

Determining in which category goods should be placed in relation to their customs clearance is needed for duties & tariff, as well as trade rules, restrictions, quota and statistical purposes. The general rules and notes, part of the Harmonized system, help with this categorization.

We will start with the 6 General rules for the interpretation of the international Harmonized System and use some examples to demonstrate how these rules should be used.
We will then show how these Rules are integrated in the HTS of the US and look at how goods are grouped and ordered in the sections and chapters.
Still using examples, we will continue with the Additional U.S. Rules of the Interpretation of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
Then, we will present a high-level overview of the General notes of the HTSUS and what they are used for, as well as briefly mention what are the General Statistical notes and the notes in Chapters 98 and 99 of the HTS US.

Interactive parts are available to assist with the learning and validate the knowledge acquired in this supply chain training.

User experience duration is expected to be around 90 minutes but may vary due to interactive parts and reflection time.
