Simplification Of The Harmonized
Tariff Schedule Of The
United States
This page
provides a link to studies or proposed modifications to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule to
simplify the hierarchy and structure within the existing framework of the 6-digit code
that defines the Harmonized System. Proposals include, where possible, collapsing of
8-digit line items or groupings that have the same rates, or removal and collapsing of
10-digit statistical breakouts that are no longer needed.
In response
to a request by the committee on Ways and Means of the United States House of
Representatives and to the Committee on Finance of the United States Senate, the USITC
has developed a draft simplification of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS). The report of that investigation (Investigation No. 332-388) was transmitted
to the Committees on June 30, 2000. To make the report as accessible as possible this
report is available for viewing or downloading, either in its full form (first link below)
or as individual chapter files (second and third links below). When downloading individual
chapters, be sure to download the Report and Appendices A & B
