HTS classification is one of the most critical parts of the import process. Importers are required to classify products entering the US accurately in accordance with the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). HTS classification is used for determining the admissibility of the goods, the applicable duty rate, various import restrictions, and eligibility for duty free or reduced duty under special claims tariff preference programs and Free Trade Agreements.

HTS classification is complex and requires careful attention to the many different rules and requirements. We are leading experts in HTS classification. We have successfully classified thousands of products in virtually every type of industry. Our classification experience includes apparel, footwear, electronics, medical supplies and equipment, industrial equipment, and automotive. We have the experience to handle the most challenging classification questions.

We work closely with our clients to quickly and accurately classify their products in the provisions most favorable to their ongoing operations. We seek to obtain the lowest duty rate available, take advantage of special duty programs, and when necessary recommend product modifications to obtain a more favorable treatment.
