Tax & Duties


 What is the best way to export my products?

" I had a tariff code for my products, but each time we export to different countries we had different tax and duties."

We have the solution " Smart Tariff Program" safe and reliable.
The Harmonized System (HS) of tariff nomenclature is an internationally standardized system of names and numbers to classify traded products.
Since 1998, World Trade Organization implement the HS, today it works in 164 countries.
All products can be classified in the process known as "HS Classification", which is made by  using the "GRI" General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System, according to several factors including a product's composition, its form and its function.
Usually, the HS Classification is proposed by the Customs Broker. The companies send an invoice to be classified, but forget the product sheet, lab analysis and marketing information, such as uses and countries customs. Problems begin when the broker gets an invoice with 50 or 200 different positions and the clients want fast clearance. They start to make pressure to collect the goods or the export documentation and forget the implications of that way of doing things.
According to our experience and know-how and cultural differences or mistakes, we can produce different Hs classifications.
On one hand, there is a difference between countries, the first six digits of HS are the same to all, but several nations work with 10 or 12 digits know as the local number in the HS. These differences can affect the right classification.
On the other hand, there is a difference between countries, the first six numbers are the same to all, but several nations work with 10 or 12 digits known as the local number in the HS.  These differences can affect the right classification.
What are the best practices to do it?
When you develop the product or think of export/import, you have to prepare the HS classification.
Smart sales offers to set a solution, according to the dimension, and experience:
