Everything and anything that is exported from the U.S., with the exception of the exclusive jurisdictions of other federal agencies, is subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). You must properly classify your exported item using the Commerce Control List and, among other requirements, you must adhere to the prohibitions for end-user and end-use found in Part 744 of the EAR. The EAR provides for Ten General Prohibitions that an exporter must overcome before shipping any commodity, technology or software from the U.S. Addressing these honestly and knowledgeably will provide the greatest assurance of a compliant export.

It is the responsibility of the importer to properly classify merchandise entered into the U.S. Though a broker may provide assistance, the importer bears the sole responsibility. Having and using the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the US is absolutely necessary to fulfilling this responsibility. Correct classification using the Harmonized System is critical for determining eligibility of goods under the many Free Trade Agreements which the U.S. has entered into. Changes to the HTSUSA at the tariff classification and statistical suffix level occur frequently throughout the year. Also changing are special rates of duty as the U.S. implements new free trade agreements. Don’t pay more customs duty than is necessary due to using outdated references when preferential rates may be available. Unz & Co. will keep you updated as changes are published. During 2007, this publication has been updated more than 5 times ensuring that the most current regulatory information is at your fingertips. Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the U.S. (HTSUS) provides the 10-digit classification and duty rates for the general goods imported into the U.S., and for goods under tariff preference programs and trade agreements. U.S. regulations make the importer solely responsible for correct classification and applicable rate of duty. This makes HTSUS imperative for compliance. Included are the General Rules of Interpretation and the General Notes section containing trade preference criteria and trade agreement programs.

The Schedule B is the official schedule of commodity classifications to be used by shippers in reporting export shipments from the United States, and in compiling the official statistics on exports of merchandise from the United States. The export commodity classification system presented in this Schedule reflects the adoption, in 1989, of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (Harmonized System). Correct classification of exported goods is a requirement under the Foreign Trade Statistics Regulations. Exporters are required to classify goods leaving the U.S. to the 10-digit level based on the commodity codes found in the Schedule B to the FTSR. Failure to understand and apply this hierarchy of classification will lead you to frustration and, possibly, selection of an incorrect commodity code. This is essential information for producers/exporters claiming Free Trade Agreement preferences for the goods they sell. Substantial changes have been made to the early Harmonized System, agreed by the World Customs Organization. Since the Schedule B is harmonized to this system, there have been substantial changes to the ten-digit codes for goods exported from the U.S., particularly products classified in Chapters 84, 85, 87, and 90. It is critical that every exporter be aware of these new changes, and reports the new correct and accurate HS codes when exporting goods from the U.S. 1418 pages, Tabbed Dividers, Full text on the Web, E-mail Updates Re-subscriber discount pricing is $388 - savings of 20%!

One of the most significant effects of the Customs Modernization Act was the establishment of the clear requirement that importers exercise reasonable care in importing into the United States. A key element of reasonable care is access to and an understanding of the Customs Regulations. For example, it is the responsibility of the importer to properly mark imported goods with their country of origin. You may cause your foreign vendor to undertake this task but are they doing it in accordance with U.S. regulations? Do you know what the regulations require? The value of imported goods for the purposes of appraisement and assessment of duty may not simply be the value reflected on the vendor’s commercial invoice. Do you know what the U.S. statutory inclusions to and exclusions from imported value are? If you import goods then you must have and reference this publication. Even if you engage the services of a broker, you, the importer, bear the ultimate responsibility for adherence to all aspects of the Customs Regulations. The U.S. Customs Regulations, contained in the CFR Title 19, Parts 1 – 199, are the keystone to your thorough understanding of your responsibilities and requirements as an importer of goods in the U.S. Protect yourself and your business with a subscription to the Unz & Co. U.S. Customs Regulations. Owning, understanding, and adhering to the regulations in the 2007 edition of the U.S. Customs Regulations is evidence of "reasonable care." 1060 pages, Tabbed Dividers, Full text on the Web, E-mail Updates Re-subscriber Discount is $388 - a savings of 20%
