Avoid Costly Errors: Prevent Tariff Misclassification with CargoNet Freight Software

What is Tariff Misclassification in Freight?

Tariff misclassification happens when goods are assigned the wrong Harmonized System (HS) code. This leads to incorrect duty payments, compliance violations, and shipment delays. It can result in:

  • Financial penalties from customs authorities.
  • Increased customs scrutiny, causing delays.
  • Supply chain disruptions that impact business operations.

Freight forwarders and logistics companies must ensure accurate tariff classification to:

✔ Avoid overpaying or underpaying customs duties.
✔ Stay compliant with international regulations.
✔ Streamline operations and reduce manual errors.

Why Accurate Tariff Classification Matters

Incorrect HS codes can cause:

🚨 Higher Duties & Taxes – Overpaying or underpaying affects profitability.
Regulatory Penalties – Misclassification leads to hefty fines and reputational damage.
Shipment Delays – Incorrect codes slow down customs clearance.
