Tariffs are duties imposed by a government on imported or exported goods, often used to protect domestic industries or generate revenue.
These are tariffs imposed by a country in direct response to tariffs levied by another, often as part of a trade dispute or negotiation tactic.
The origin of goods refers to their 'economic nationality’. It is used to determine tariff rates and trade policy measures.
An FTA is a legally binding treaty between two or more countries to reduce or eliminate tariffs and barriers on goods and services.
Customs valuation is the process of determining the value of goods to establish the customs duty base.
Preferential origin grants reduced or zero tariffs to parties under a trade agreement if goods meet specific origin rules.
Non-preferential origin refers to country where the goods are considered to have originated for purposes not related to trade preferences or where there are no preferential trade arrangements.
Classification refers to assigning a product to a tariff code in the Harmonized System (HS) which determines applicable duties and rules and other trade and regulatory measures.
A commodity code is the numerical code in the tariff schedule used for customs classification, combining HS, Combined Nomenclature (CN) and national subdivisions.
A valuation method used in some jurisdictions (e.g., US) where the customs value is based on the first sale in a multi-tiered transaction, typically between manufacturer and middleman.
