Export Education: HTS/Schedule B Classification

This Event Has Passed.

Join the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina (EDPNC) and President of Allocca Enterprises, Inc., Mike Allocca, for a session about HTS/Schedule B Classifications.

Many companies are exposing themselves unnecessarily by not regularly reviewing or understanding their own import and export classifications. Importers and exporters are required to use reasonable care and due diligence in determining product classifications. Why not learn how to begin that process and keep your company in compliance?

This program will help you begin to understand how to use the Harmonized Tariff System for imports and the Schedule B listing for exports. Attendees will learn and review the 6 GRI- General Rules of Interpretation used to classify every product and will go through instructor & CBP based sample classifications using each of the GRI’s. Instructors will show how CBP reviews binding ruling requests and what that means for your products.

As a result of the training, attendees will know where to go for help and what to look for with regard to their company’s product(s).
