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 companys 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. Usage of the right options
in SAP GTS can help Trade compliance officer's to carry out this classification activity in an optimized
manner which can otherwise be a laborious activity (classifying one product at a time)
