As an exporter, you're probably familiar with the Harmonized System (HS) and Schedule B codes, but you may not be as familiar with the role of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, or HTS, codes. Tariffs have always been around but current trade policy makes understanding them more important than ever. Designed for personnel in purchasing, supply chain, finance, or general management this book gives a detailed yet jargon free explanation of how US tariffs work, how you can negotiate supplier increases due to tariffs, and how your firm can understand the basics of the tariff regime. Includes the basics of HTS codes, classifications, tariffs, exclusions, duty drawbacks, and the details of how tariff costs can be passed on to customers. This book is a basic introduction and not a step-by-step import/export guide.
