Certificate Issued Upon Completion.

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.
