EXPERTISE› TARIFF & HS CLASSIFICATION
Correct classification

Competitive Advantage
Correct classification supports assessment of incentive and preferential regime conditions.
KEY RISK AREAS
Incorrect Classification
Tax and compliance risks arising from incorrect tariff identification.
Trade Policy Measures
Compliance with trade policy measures and surveillance requirements.
Origin and Preferential Regimes
Interactions with origin rules and preferential regimes.
Import/Export Restrictions
Product-specific prohibitions, authorisations and restrictions.
