Difference between Comodity & Tariff Codes

[Former Member]

Can anyone give me the proper defination of Comodity Codes & Tariff Codes in SAP Customs Management? What is the difference between the two??

[Former Member]

With the general interpuation of these words are as follow

Commdity Codes : Schedule B Codes ( Export Secenarios)

Tariff Codes : HTS Code (Harmonized Tariff Codes ) for Import Duty Calculations.

In the Global Trade HTS is mostly Used for duty calculations and ECCN (Export Control Classification Number) is used in Exports for determine the required license.

General Trade practice is ECCN for Export and HTS for Import.

Hope this will information helps you
