Tariff Classification is the process of assigning an appropriate tariff code to a product for import or export. Tariff codes are used by customs to determine the rate of duty and taxes applied to a particular item. It is important to accurately classify a product as the wrong classification can result in higher duty or taxes than necessary or even a denial of entry.
