Global Solution for Customs Tariff and Export Control Classification

Correct classification is the most fundamental task in international trade and can be a difficult undertaking. Without accurate classifications, it is not possible to achieve the correct customs duty calculation or preferential treatment determination. 

It is common that people in different divisions of a company often make varying decisions about customs tariff and export control classifications. This usually causes duplicative effort and inconsistent results for the same product. Furthermore, in an international environment, with multiple national tariffs, commodity lists, languages, complex interpretive notes and preferential duty rates, classification is quite difficult to manage. This leads to inconsistencies which are “red flags” to authorities, resulting in costly fines and penalties. To avoid this, a central and standardized product classification process is required.

MIC's Central Classification System (MIC CCS) offers a cost-effective solution for the determination, assignment and validation of customs tariff classifications and export control classifications according to customs tariffs and export control commodity lists. Additionally, MIC CCS contains all necessary trade content in a user-friendly format. Most importantly, the software allows clearly structured control of the entire product classification process at a global level.
