MERCEOLOGICO PROCESS

MERCEOLOGICO PROCESS

1. 1. Be sure to fully identify your goods ( first read the section notes and proceed with the chapter notes)

2. 2. Once you have established the chapter (which is the first 2 digits) according with the legal notes than you can proceed with the heading which is 4 digits, also remember that rule 1 warns us that the titles of sections and chapters are only for indicative use this means they are only useful for initial research.

3. 3. After you have the heading correct you can start classifying at a subheading level which is 6 digits (with the use of the chapter notes, explanatory notes, general rules, and complementary rules you can guide yourself to the correct subheading for your classification)

4. 4. By reading the Explanatory Notes of the Harmonized system you will see that under the headings there is detailed information about each merchandise. (also includes lists of excluded goods)

5. 5. Technical accuracies like the goods descriptions, their properties, their mode of production and their uses help us classify correctly.
