CUSTOMS CLASSIFICATION OF GOODS UNDER THE HARMONISED SYSTEM CODING

   HRD Corp Programme Number : 1000193928

INTRODUCTION

Classification entails classifying products into correct tariff codes to determine the duty liability. Products which fail to classify correctly will not only involve increased duty liability but will also affect a company’s product costing. There is a possibility that wrong classification of goods might infringe into certain customs legislations and attract customs audit and investigations leading to substantial claims. A better understanding of the Harmonized Coding System and how classification of goods is done based on the General Interpretative Rules (GIR Rules) will prevent potential problems in the future.

Participants will be able to understand the structure of the Harmonized System and what avenues are available if businesses are not agreeable with the tariff codes decided by the officers of the Royal Malaysian Customs Department (RMCD).
