Tariff Classification

At ACOLCEX CUSTOMS BROKER, we carry out tariff classification to precisely determine the physical and technical characteristics of your goods. This allows us to determine tariffs, regulations, obligations, or benefits in accordance with international trade agreements.

The numerical coding of goods is based on the Harmonized System (HS), which is a goods nomenclature established by the World Customs Organization (WCO).

In some cases, classifying goods is straightforward, as certain products are intended for very specific and everyday purposes, such as books, bicycles, or mobile phones. In other cases, tariff classification can be complex, as it requires determining components, final use, and very specific characteristics, such as textiles, chemicals, or sophisticated electronic systems. In these cases, ACOLCEX CUSTOMS BROKER has specialized personnel and advisors who can accurately classify a product.

Applying the correct tariff classification to each product involved in import and export processes is of vital importance. It ensures the accurate payment of tariffs while also guaranteeing that you are taking advantage of benefits and preferential treatments.
