The code determined for this component by our German subsidiary’s export expert is recommending a code not fully recognized in the […]
Question: Has anyone found a source that updates changes in the USHTS throughout the year, or provides a comprehensive list of changes periodically for importers to access?
Do any members currently use a HTS Classification Worksheet in order to help provide their audit trail when assigning new classifications, and if so, would any be willing to share their worksheet template?
