CN, HS-Code and TARIC – what these abbreviations mean for the Classification of Goods, by Armin Belle

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.
