For goods imported into another country, it is imperative to have proper identification of the product as per the scheme agreed by the World Customs Organization (WCO). This coding system generally referred to as "Harmonized System" or simply "HS" is a multipurpose international product nomenclature developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO). This system is used by over 200 countries for Customs tariffs and for the collection of international trade statistics. This may also be used for imposing non-tariff barriers through license, permits and documentation. HS number serves as the starting point for any trade compliance solution.
Our HS Classification solution provides multiple options to classify the products:
Tree based search: This option allows the user to traverse through the entire Tariff book starting from Section, Chapter, Subchapter (4-digits), subchapter (6-digits), and further as defined by individual countries. Users can use this option for classifying their products and determining the best option based on the tariff description and additional notes (section and chapter notes).
Number search: This option provides a user to start their classification by narrowing their search a smaller portion of tariff numbers. This option works best for knowledgeable users who already know where to focus their search. They can begin by entering a partial HS number and explore further.
Text search: This option allows the users to search using product description. The system narrows down the search to a subsection of tariff numbers and helps the users to select the correct tariff through a series of questions.
We recommend using our online system for thorough research and analysis to identify the correct HS number. We also provide a classification service, where experts perform the product classification for the clients.
Tariff Classification Service: In addition to self-service, Workseer also collaborates with custom brokers and partners to provide a manual classification service. Clients can send their product list and we work with the relevant custom brokers and partners who specialize in that specific country to help identify the correct HS number for each product.
While exports from countries are also controlled using HS numbers, the dual use goods and military goods are primarily controlled through Export Control Number (ECN) also known as Export Control Classification Number (ECCN). The export to such goods and the requirements for license or permits, and any available exemptions are determined using ECN numbers.
Our ECN Classification solution provides multiple options to classify the products:
Tree based search: This option allows the user to traverse through the Categories, product groups and subsequent ECN numbers. Tree feature provides the users an easy to use top down approach to start from a broader view and continually narrow down to the final ECN number.
Number search: This option provides a user to start by narrowing their search to a smaller portion of ECN. This option works best for knowledgeable users who already know where to focus their search. They can begin by entering a partial ECN number and explore further.
Text search: This option allows the users to search using product description. It works best by using the key attributes of the product. The system narrows down the search to a subsection of tariff numbers and helps the users to select the correct tariff through a series of questions.
ECN Classification Service: In addition to self-service, Workseer also collaborates with custom brokers and partners to provide a manual classification service. Clients can send their product list and we work with the relevant custom brokers and partners who specialize in that specific country to help identify the correct HS number for each product

In addition it also provided a computation of reduced rates from trade agreements or preferential treatment offered by the importing country.
