Assistance in obtaining prior classification decisions
We offer assistance in obtaining a decision on the classification of goods, from filling out applications and compiling a complete package of documents to obtaining the decision itself.
Obtaining classification decisions is useful in cases of uncertainty about the correct product code or when an economic agent is planning a long-term import activity with a certain type of product. To determine the product code, the economic agent may request a decision from the Customs Service entitled Preliminary Tariff Decision on Commodity Classification.
This decision constitutes a legally binding confirmation of the product code and in this sense guarantees the correct classification. These solutions eliminate the risk of misclassifications and simplify customs control, given that they are binding on both customs and the declarant. The tariff solution is valid for three years, ensuring predictability and simplification of the customs clearance process throughout this period.
