Classification of
goods and tariffs
Central instrument
of foreign trade master data
The customs tariff number enables the customs authorities and the partners involved in foreign trade (buyer, supplier, transporter) to identify a wide variety of goods descriptions without any doubt. In addition, the customs tariff number contains the type and amount of import duties, trade restrictions on imports and exports, as well as bases for preferential origin determination.
Every foreign trade company must assign its goods to the corresponding customs tariff numbers (= classify or tariff). The main challenges here are the lack of personnel/time resources, expertise and practical experience.
