Query option for Importer HTS

ABISuite program has a query option to query all HTS that are saved under the I.D. File by Importer (Tools –> ID File). This option can be very useful if you have frequent used tariffs saved for the Importer that need to be updated. Keep in mind that Customs sends tariff updates (latest 1108) but does not always include all tariffs and updates are usually for new tariffs added or to replace discontinued tariffs. To query the tariffs that are frequently used by an Importer on your ABISuite go to Messages –> Transmit to U.S. Customs –> H-Harmonized System –> Query HTS by Importer, enter the Importer key and this will load all saved HTS, select Post to send the transmission. Remember this option will update all tariffs saved under your I.D. File, if you have a large amount of tariffs saved your transmission might take a while to be processed.

CSMS# 11-000243 – Classification of Sets in Accordance with GRI 3(b) or 3(c)

10/06/2011 03:16 PM EDT

Automated Broker Interface

As a reminder, sets which are classifiable in accordance with GRI 3(b) or 3(c) of the HTS, report in column 30 the  HTS number from which the rate of duty for the set is derived.

Precede this number with an SPI of “X.”

Each article in the set (including the article designated with a prefix of “X”) should be reported on a separate line as if it were separately classified.

Precede these HTS numbers with an SPI of “V.”

Report the quantity and value attributed to each article associated with the “V” SPI.

All other reporting requirements including, but not limited to, quota, visa, licensing, and other government agency requirements, should be reported along with the appropriate HTS number preceded with an SPI of “V.”

Further information on the X and V codes are found in Appendix B of the CATAIR (see page B-33). Additional  information on how to classify sets can be found in the informed compliance publication, �Classification of  Sets,� located on CBP.gov.
