CLASSIFICATION GUIDANCE

How to Properly Classify Under HTS 6900

Correct HTS classification is a legal responsibility. Misclassification — even unintentional — can result in CBP penalties up to 4× the unpaid duties and potential seizure. Here's how to verify your classification:

Review the official HTSUS at hts.usitc.gov for the exact heading and notes for Chapter 69.
Check Chapter and Section Notes — exclusions and inclusions defined in the notes often override apparent classification.
Apply the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) — start with GRI 1 (specific description) through GRI 6 if needed.
Search CBP CROSS database for binding rulings on similar products.
Consult a licensed customs broker for high-value shipments or ambiguous products.
