Riskape, always a good read, links to an important white paper from JPMorgan Chase’s Vastera unit on upcoming changes to the HTS (Harmonized Tariff System). Rob @ Riskape:
Although the WCO’s intent is to make the changes “rate neutralâ€, there is significant risk of products being reclassified into higher duty classifications, either simply by chance or by a renewed focus by various customs bodies. Additionally, due to the massive overhaul that the classification system will undergo, “one-for-one†mapping (old classification to new classification) will not always be possible – further complicating the update process.
His full post, with link to the white paper, is here.
