Seminar Description
The correct classification of goods using commodity and tariff codes is fundamental for customs compliance, establishing correct duty rates, origin of goods, intrastat, export control and many other customs procedures.

New Harmonised Systems codings are being introduced in 2012 and increasingly security procedures at ports of exit/entry are being linked to commodity and tariff codings.

This half day seminar will consider the terminology used and structure of the Harmonised System, Commodity and Tariff codes. It will examine the General Interpretative Rules that are used for classification and the use of tools available to assist in the establishment of the correct code.

We will then look briefly at the International Trade procedures related to commodity and tariff codings and highlight the necessity and benefits of using the correct codes.

Where possible, the seminar will have live access to The Tariff, enabling the trainer to demonstrate the methodology. Delegates are also encouraged to bring laptops to enable participation, however some PC's will be provided although limited. Please note that we cannot confirm individual product classifications during the seminar.
