Hs Tariff Classification

Use when a licensed customs broker, trade-compliance analyst, importer of record, exporter, 3PL trade desk, or in-house trade counsel needs to classify a single product under the Harmonized System (HTSUS for the United States, Combined Nomenclature / TARIC for the European Union, or another national tariff). Guides scoped intake of the product, materials, function, end use, presentation, and country pair, walks the WCO General Rules of Interpretation in strict order (GRI 1 → 2(a) → 2(b) → 3(a) → 3(b) → 3(c) → 4 → 5(a) → 5(b) → 6, plus the U.S. Additional Rules of Interpretation where applicable), cites the controlling section / chapter / subheading notes for each step that is actually applied, runs an essential-character analysis for composite goods and sets, generates a CROSS / EBTI ruling search list, and produces a DRAFT classification memo with a recommended 10-digit HTSUS (or 8-digit EU CN / 10-digit TARIC) code, statistical suffix, trade-program flags (USMCA, GSP, Section 301 / 232 / 201, AD/CVD prompts), alternatives-rejected log, reasonable-care record, binding-ruling recommendation, and an unresolved-information list — for licensed customs broker / trade-compliance review before any entry filing or binding-ruling request. Never files a CBP entry, never transmits ACE / AES data, never opines on AD/CVD scope rulings, never substitutes for a Binding Ruling, and never assumes the importer of record's reasonable-care liability under 19 U.S.C. § 1484.
