What is the Harmonized Tariff System?
The Harmonized Tariff System classifies products by a standardized numerical method. Products receive a ten-digit number that enables customs agents worldwide to determine duties, taxes, and regulations on that product. You can obtain a harmonized number for your product through the U.S. Census Bureau (http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/schedules/b/). The 2005 Harmonized Tariff Schedule can be ordered from http://bookstore.gpo.gov using stock number 949-021-00000-9, or click below to view online.
