Businesses seeking to better understand how to use the Harmonized Tarriff System (HTS) for imports and the Schedule B listing for exports won’t want to miss the next export training webinar on Tuesday, February 7, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. Trainer Mike Allocca of Allocca Enterprises (click here) will explain the General Rules of Interpretation (GRIs), the difference between Schedule B and HTS numbers, and how to use the Customs Rulings Online Search System (CROSS)–a searchable database of Customs and Border Protection rulings. Attendees will have time to review a variety of instructor-led classification examples to practice using the material. The cost to attend is $50 and attendees must register to attend (click here).

This training is part of a series coordinated by the Vermont Department of Economic Development and the U.S. Commercial Service (click here) and funded in part through the State Trade Expansion Program (STEP) (click here), a grant with the U.S. Small Business Administration.
