HTS Classification
US Customs requires all goods entering into the country to be classified by a 10-digit Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) number. This number determines the tariff, or duty rate, and is presented on a shipping document at the point of entry. The HTS is published by Customs in the form of a manual containing 97 chapters and over 280,000 individual product classifications. References include explanatory notes in the HTS manual, informed compliance publications, and legal rulings. Non-compliance can result in seizures, penalties, and point-of-entry delays.
