Reasons For Abandoning Online Shopping Cart

                    I was not ready to purchase, but wanted to

What Is Customs?
  • An law enforcement agency that safeguards the interests of a country with respect to what can enter
    and cannot enter

  • Collects customs duties and taxes for a government

       The import or export of some goods may be forbidden by restrictions or stimulated by trade
        agreements

       Levy tariffs and taxes on the import of goods to protect jobs and industries in a country

       Customs uses the Harmonized Tariff Code to determine the amount of duty and tax to be
        assessed upon entry

                                                                                                                 6

Harmonized System
  • The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) is an internationally standardized
    system of names and numbers for classifying traded products

  • A tax rate is assigned to each Harmonized Tariff Code (HTC); these rates make up the Tariff Schedule

  • The HTC is what the US Census Bureau uses to track trade statistics between countries

  • U.S. Census Bureau Regulation

Harmonized System
  •   Harmonized Codes, although extremely helpful to the Customs agent in the destination country, are not
      mandatory on Customs documents.

  •   Verbal descriptions can be used as long as they explain:

          What the commodity is (i.e. Short Sleeve Shirt)

          What its used for (Men’s Golf Shirt)

          What its made of (Polyester 60% - Cotton 40% Blend)

  •   You must also use the retail value at which it was sold for to the buyer. Not the cost to produce or replace
      the item.

                                                                                                                            7

                      The first six digits of the HTF code describes what the item is.
                      The next two digits describe where the commodity originates.
                      The last two digits describe where the commodity is going.
