Complex HS Classification

The United States applies specific logic to the duty calculation for certain commodities that consist of multiple components, including ores, wearing apparel ensembles, tools and cutlery sets, watches and clocks. The duty for those commodities is calculated on the basis of the parts constituting the commodity.

The Complex HS Classification wizard provides the ability to select the accurate HS codes for complex duty calculation. The wizard determines the respective parent and child numbers from the United States Tariff for the following product types: ores, wearing apparel ensembles, tools and cutlery sets, watches and clocks. The Wizard guides you through the selection of the commodities constituting a parent product.
