Topic Background :

The Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the U.S. (HTSUS) is a big deal. In hard copy (get yours today from the GPO), it's about six inches thick, two thousand pages long, and weighs about a dozen pounds. If you fail to get a real handle on this tome, you will have trouble in real life, whether you are importing or trying to get a passing grade on the Customs Broker Examination.

The HTSUS consists of ninety-nine chapters, with Chapter 77 being held in reserve for future use. The first ninety-seven chapters are the international divisions that just about all countries use, and contain the classifications for all foreign-made merchandise. Chapters 98 and 99 are unique to the United States.
