Part 5: US Customs Tariff (HTSUS) Classifications is the fifth in a nine-part series of introductory classes on US Customs Brokerage. This course can be taken out of sequence if desired.

 

This comprehensive course will teach you how to properly classify goods for US Customs tariffs. You can use this course to rapidly train staff newly assigned to handle HTSUS and to fill in the gaps for existing staff who perform basic classification but who have not been formally trained. Students will learn Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) structure, HTS classification, and how to apply General Rules of Interpretation (GRIs) for most product types. You will also get an introduction to Additional Rules of Interpretation and the most commonly used HTSUS special provisions (Chapter 98 and 99).

 

This course is updated to reflect basic HTSUS publication amendments at the beginning of each year. You will be provided with links to view HTSUS online. You may also download and print it to help you complete the practical exercises.

  

Once you finish this course, a printable Certificate of Completion will be available for download. The course can be completed in 20 hours or less and earns NCBFAA-registered students 19 CCS continuing education credits.
