Harmonized Tariff Schedule

• The USITC (Office of Tariff Affairs and Trade
  Agreements) is responsible for publishing the
  Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
  Annotated (HTSA). The HTSA provides the
  applicable tariff rates and statistical
  categories for all merchandise imported into the
  United States it is based on the international
  Harmonized System, the global classification
  system that is used to describe most world trade
  in goods.

US Export Commodity Classification Number
(Schedule B)
There are millions of trade transactions
occurring each year. These transactions are
classified under approximately 8,000 different
products leaving the United States. Every item
that is exported is assigned a unique 10-digit
identification code. Every 10-digit item is part
of a series of progressively broader product
categories.

Whats the difference between Schedule B and
Harmonized Tariff Schedule
All of the imports and export codes used by the
United States are based on the Harmonized Tariff
System. The HTS assigns 6-digit codes for general
categories. Countries which use the HTS are
allowed to define commodities at a more detailed
level than 6-digits, but all definitions must be
within that 6-digit framework. The U.S. defines
products using 10-digit HTS codes. Exports codes
(which the U.S. calls Schedule B) are
administered by the U.S. Census Bureau. Import
codes are administered by the U.S. International
Trade Commission (USITC). http//www.census.gov/f
