This page is accessed via Order Management > Power Data > Item Classifications > HTS.

The Harmonized Tariff System is an international commodity classification developed under the auspices of the Customs Cooperation Council. In the Harmonized System, goods are classified by what they are, and not according to their stage of fabrication, their use, or origin. The Harmonized System nomenclature is logically structured by economic activity or component material. For example, animals and animal products are found in one section; machinery and mechanical appliances which are grouped by function are found in another. The nomenclature is divided into 21 sections. Each of these sections groups together goods produced in the same sector of the economy. Each section is comprised of one or more chapters, with the entire nomenclature contained in 97 chapters.
