U.S.I.T.C. Posts 2019 Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States

After a delay due to the U.S. Federal Government shutdown, the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has posted the 2019 Harmonized Tariff Schedule. We encourage our clients to periodically review the tariff codes that are used for their goods.  The tariff schedule can change multiple times per year, so a periodic review should be a part of your company’s compliance protocol.  Companies that engage in trade with the United States must exhibit ‘Reasonable Care’ which includes providing valid classifications.
