Project Overview
Following the introduction of new steel tariffs, the client faced rising duty costs on imported components used in domestic assembly. Uncertainty around product classifications created both financial exposure and compliance risk.
Project Type
Trade compliance consulting and classification review
Operational Focus
Tariff exposure, duty optimization, regulatory alignment
Financial Impact
Reduced duty spend with improved compliance confidence
Product classification review identifying tariff misalignment
HTS code corrections supported by compliance documentation
Internal process alignment reinforcing long-term accuracy
Duty spend reduced through corrected product classifications
Compliance exposure removed by aligning filings with product attributes
Classification visibility improved across internal processes
We conducted a detailed classification review through our M-PACT Trade Compliance team, examining product composition and tariff applicability. Our analysis identified items incorrectly categorized under steel-related classifications. We updated HTS codes, filed corrections, and aligned internal procedures to maintain compliance going forward.
