Why Classification Matters

Every product imported into Canada must be assigned a Harmonized System (HS) tariff code. This code determines the duty rate, applicable trade agreements, permit requirements, and admissibility of your goods. An incorrect classification can result in overpaid duties, penalties, seizures, or delays. R&R Customs Brokers applies deep product knowledge and regulatory expertise to classify your goods correctly the first time.
