In this video, we discuss the importance of finding the correct HTSUS code for imported goods and provide guidance on how to do so. The Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) is a system that classifies goods and determines the applicable duties, taxes, and regulations. Incorrect classification can lead to penalties, delays, or even shipment seizure. To find the correct HTSUS code, we recommend conducting thorough research on your product's composition, function, and intended use. The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) provides an online searchable database that can assist in the process. Additionally, the Tariff Ruling System and consultation with customs brokers or trade attorneys can provide valuable insights. Accurate HTSUS code classification is crucial for calculating import costs, understanding regulations, and ensuring compliance with trade laws.
