About The Webinar

Understanding how to interpret the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the U.S. is essential in determining duty rates, preference eligibility, and overall costs for imported goods. Moreover, importers have a legal obligation to exercise reasonable care in classifying their goods. Whether you are a novice or veteran classifier, an in-house customs compliance professional or a customs broker, our 2016 topic-based classification series can help you improve your classification skills, avoid common pitfalls in these areas and learn some best practices.

This month’s topic is classifying high-tech products. With technology evolving at such a rapid pace, it can be a challenge to keep up with the latest rules and understand how to properly classify computers, semiconductors, smart devices, information technology infrastructure and the like. This webinar will provide further insight into this complex issue and focus on the following.

Key Topics

  • applying complex legal notes
  • analyzing composite machines
  • understanding functional units
  • determining principal function and when to use GRI 3(c)
  • recent rulings and hot topics (e.g., smart watches, fitness trackers, 3D printing machines)
