| Title: | Making Sense of Export Classification Numbers |
| Description: | This course will explain the structure and logic of the harmonized system as well as learning how to follow the "General Rules of Interpretation" (GRI's). Beginning with simple, unambiguous classifications, we will advance through more complex products. Understanding of the harmonized system and the GRI’s is a fundamental skill that will help assure that you are in compliance with U.S. law regarding the reporting of your exports. Do your goods get held up in customs over issues of tariff codes? Do your products fit into more than one category, or is proper classification difficult? Skills and resources shared in this program will allow you to avoid the headaches, delays, expense, and compliance violations that may result using outdated codes or relying on a “seat of the pants” method of classification. |

| Description: | Find out how to save your company time and money when exporting to Mexico by learning how to avoid the most common customs mistakes and issues for U.S. exporters. Customs issues are one of the top market access challenges that U.S. companies face when exporting their products overseas. Between 2006 and 2009, U.S. exporters made numerous customs errors when shipping to Mexico, including mistakes in product classification, valuation, NAFTA certificates of origin, documentation, packaging and labeling, and product marks. These errors had a significant impact on their bottom line. If not planned for and managed properly, these errors can cost American companies hundreds and thousands of dollars each year worldwide in customs fees, legal costs, and lost sales. It is essential when looking to export for the first time to any market, including Mexico, that U.S. exporters work with both a Mexican customs broker and freight forwarder that are knowledgeable and experienced with the customs requirements and documentation of this local market. |
