Whether your company does importing, exporting or
both, you need to properly classify your products
under the Schedule B or Harmonized Tariff Schedule
codes to meet U.S. and foreign government's Customs
requirements. Do it right and your goods should fly
through Customs. Do it wrong and your goods might
never make it to their destination.
This one-day session
explains the tariff schedule and gives you the tools
to classify your own company's products. You'll gain
an understanding of the general notes of the tariff
schedule, which will give you a strong base for understanding
the rules for the various free trade agreements and
other duty preference programs.
Come to this one-day
seminar armed with your questions. Small class sizes
and a knowledgeable teacher allow for a great interaction
between attendees and the instructor. All attendees
receive a reference book on understanding and explaining
the tariff classification process.
There are more
than 1,600 changes to the HTS codes in 2007—that's
almost 10% of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Attend
this seminar to make sure you are aware of all these
changes and how they affect your company!
