About The Webinar

Properly classifying yarns and fabrics under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States can be a tricky business. In this webinar participants will review the tariff definitions of various types of fabric and practice using the tariff formula to calculate average yarn number. They will also learn about references for converting various measurement systems into the metric terms used in the HTSUS.
