Introduction

  1. Classification of goods for import and export purposes, either manufactured / produced locally is based on the Customs Duty Order 1996 effective 1st January 1996 which in turn was based on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System or in short Harmonised System (HS).

  2. The classification of imported / exported manufactured goods serves the purpose of determining the rate of duty / tax imposed on the goods as enforced in the Customs Duty Order. It also serves to ensure that the goods are not listed under the prohibited import and export items of the Customs Order (Prohibition Regarding Imports) or (Prohibition Regarding Exports) or vice versa.
