Definition
The Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States is the classification system that assigns a numeric code to every imported product. The HTS code determines the duty rate and any applicable trade restrictions for the goods.
Why it matters
An incorrect HTS classification means an incorrect duty calculation. Classification often requires judgment, so it is a field that should be reviewed by a person against the source document, not assumed or rushed.
How TIO handles it
TIO extracts the HTS candidate from the documents and assigns a confidence score. Low-confidence classifications are flagged with the source text so your team decides.
