Export control and tariff classification of goods – the 15 rules

Typically, when new products are introduced, one of the regular customs-related questions that arises is what tariff number the new product falls under. Since this classification has a direct impact on duties payable and many other things, including export control, the classification of goods is critical to a smooth export and delivery process. This is why classification is one of your most important tasks.
