Tariff Code / Commodity Code


Business Scenario

Products are classified based on internationally accepted common nomenclature HTS/Tariff Codes. This helps customs authorities to identify products without having them to learn a company’s product codes and understand what kind of product is involved.

Background Information

Product Classification is one of the most useful functionality bundled in SAP GTS. It helps an organization to adhere with complex legal and compliance Trade regulations eg. ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations), facilitates correct Import duty calculation, aids in reporting accurate export statistics to designated authorities, helps build a competitive advantage in international markets etc. SAP GTS provides standard options for organizations to classify products with Harmonized system codes (Commodity codes, Schedule B, HTS, etc) in a seamless and accurate manner.
