❓Surely I don't need to do export filing for that...right⁉️ 🤔

💡Here's a little trick to help you figure out if export filing is required.

👩‍💼The Bureau of Industry & Security (BIS) has coined the One Rule...

If you are:
1️⃣U.S. Principal Party in Interest (USPPI) shipping your goods to any 📦
1️⃣Foreign Consignee using any 🧕
1️⃣ Carrier in any ✈️
1️⃣Day and you have any 📅
1️⃣Schedule B (HTS) greater than $2500usd or any 1️⃣ item regardless of value requires a license from a government agency 📂
You must do export filing 🧑‍💻

Easy peasy!! No need to guess now 😁

Two tariff options for U.S. export filing...

✔️As a general rule, as an exporter, you can choose to report or file either using the Schedule B or the HTSUS.

🧑‍💻However there are certain items where the exporter has no option but to file using the Schedule B.

🎯For those handful of items exporters need to refer to the Notice to Exporters (see https://hts.usitc.gov/current - view tab - Notice to Exporters).

👍So if you have the option, it really boils down to a matter of choice for the exporter.

👎Some exporters totally ignore the Schedule B thus allowing them to focus on one publication.

Poll time --- Schedule B or HTSUS for your exports...which one do you use?

🏢Even though many different U.S. government agencies have something to do with export regulations, most exporters mainly deal with three of them.

👩‍💼The Bureau of Industry & Security (BIS) of the U.S. Commerce Department is in charge of "dual use" items, which are items that can be used for both civilian and military or destructive purposes, as well as the software and technology that goes with them.

🪖The State Department aka Department of State (DOS) is in charge of items that are mainly or only used for military purposes, as well as the "know how" to make or use these items.

📈Trade restrictions that the U.S. has put in place are enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the Treasury Department. These restrictions include trade, technology, software, investments, travel, and financial transactions.

❓Which agency does most of your exports fall under?

🗺️ For financial transactions on a global scale, four primary methods of payment are generally accepted.

🤔Each option varies in payment timing, when goods are available to the buyer and risk considerations for the exporter and the importer.

🧾1. An Open Account transaction is based on trust that payment will be made by the buyer as agreed.

💰2. With a Cash in Advance transaction the buyer pays before the goods are available. Seller uses this option when buyer proves to be a credit risk.

🏦3. In Documentary Collection, both the seller's bank and the buyer's bank help with the transaction, but there is no verification.

🔏4. Letter of Credit is considered the most secure form of payment that benefits both seller and buyer.

👋Hey Concerned Exporter,

🗺️As exporters, we have to be careful that our products don't end up in places or with people who aren't supposed to get them.

🏢The Department of Commerce has given us guidelines to help us figure out how likely it is that our foreign customers won't follow the rules about exporting.

So here are 5 tips to help you maintain your peace of mind while exporting...
📞 1. Know Your Customers – what scenarios are typical and normal for your customers vs abnormal and/or inappropriate requests, demands, requirements? These are what’s called “red flags.”
👀2. Don’t self-blind – do not close your eyes or ignore important information, like the end-use, end-user, or final country of destination.
✍️3. Decide ahead and document clearly how “red flags” (ie. questionable requests, demands, etc.) will be handled.
☎️4. Think about what customers have told you. Are they justifiable? Are they explained?
🤪5. If something seems questionable, it probably is questionable. Stop the transaction and advise BIS.

We all have to do our part in securing our nation and the world at large.

📣The tariff code is referred to by many names.

🪜The tariff code (tariff number/tariff classification) for your product is based on a numerical structure determined by the Harmonized System. There is a hierarchy in this numerical structure.

The tariff number can be written in multiple formats. Let's make sure no matter how or where you see a tariff classification you can read and understand it 👍

The Chapter, the 2-digit level, groups commodities/items broadly, eg. 🐗Chapter 1 - live animals, 🌳Chapter 6 - live trees, 🫖Chapter 9 - Coffee, Tea, Mate and spices

The Heading, the 4-digit level, divides the chapter by kind/type within the Chapter, eg. 🐎0101 - Live horses, 🐄 0102 - Live bovine (eg. cattle) animals, 🐖 0103 - Live swine, 🐐0104 - Live sheep and goats

The Subheading, the 6-digit level, provides further breakdown of the kind/type eg. horses vs asses (yes, asses) 🤣 vs other

🇺🇲In the U.S., the duty rate is assigned at the 8-digit level which further describes the commodity eg. purebred vs other

📣And the last 2 digits of the classification in the U.S. is for statistical reporting purposes eg. male vs female

🍎That was a mouthful but we can help you learn how to determine and support your tariff classifications.

🔢Tariff code aka tariff number aka tariff classification or just simply classification...

🤳Whenever you export or import you must have a classification that identifies each item so that it can be reported what's leaving a country and entering another country.

📚This system for identifying products is used worldwide. The name of the system is the Harmonized Commodity Description & Coding System. Later we will break down the other names for this system.

🔎Your classification consists of at least 6 digits. These first 6 digits are internationally recognized. Some countries add additional numbers to the 6 digits so you will see many 8, 10 and even 12 digit classifications.

❓What's the classification for one of your items that you either export or import?

🙋Who can relate? I sure can...

✔️I can apply this to many things but let's stick with being consistently active and effective on social media. It's challenging trusting the process and sticking to it while trying to enjoy it.

👩‍💼It's so tempting just to hire someone to do it. Yes we all get to the point where using our time wisely requires hiring social media and other professionals.

📣However, regardless of who you hire they still need to communicate and share "YOUR VOICE AND TONE."

🏁I'm patiently learning as I write and go through all the steps of creating these posts. It's not been easy but it has been rewarding. AND when it's time to hire it out to a professional it will be easier for me to hand over the process now knowing what's involved and who is my audience.

🤳Your POSTS are for your CLIENTS and your AUDIENCE. You know your clients and your audience. Social media professionals are not magicians. You have to guide them.

All self posters drop 🔥. All social media professionals post 💯

Please share any tips for staying consistent, engaged, finding content, etc.
