Overview
Product classification is the process of identifying the appropriate customs classification for goods being imported or exported.
The classification of a product helps determine the customs duties, taxes, and other regulatory requirements that may apply to the goods.
Why Is Product Classification Required?
Product classification is used to:
Identify the appropriate HS code for the goods.
Determine applicable customs duties and taxes.
Identify any licences, restrictions, or regulatory requirements.
Ensure the customs declaration contains the correct information.
Support compliance with applicable customs rules.
How Is Product Classification Used in Customs Declarations?
The classification of the goods is entered in the relevant commodity or tariff code field of the customs declaration.
The correct classification depends on factors such as the type of goods, composition, intended use, and other characteristics of the product.
