Executive Summary
Raw Material Distribution by Article Count
Articles by Material – Top 5 HTSUS Codes
HTSUS Classification Snapshot
  • Articles using Stainless Steel dominate the portfolio (13/24 parts) and appear in multiple headers. Stainless steel flat product and "other articles" category remain default assignments—pose reclassification risk.
  • 6+ parts flagged for possible HTSUS code migration based on end-use or further processing—key for compliance teams.
  • 3 parts have ambiguous or insufficient classification; require technical clarification to avoid customs exposure.

Quick Wins
Immediate Actions to Reduce HTSUS Risk & Streamline Declarations
  1. Standardize End-Use Documentation for all stainless articles: Flag parts (e.g., mounting brackets, support plates) where end-use could shift classification from generic “other article” to machine component or hardware-specific heading.
  2. Mandate Raw Material Confirmation for unclassified/ambiguous items (e.g., cable tray, metrology head)—request supplier drawings or alloy data at PO.
  3. Group Pre-Cut Stock & Raw Flat Products under their most definitive heading (e.g., 7219.33.0000), unless further fabricated post-cutting.
  4. Review “bracket” and “shield” parts for possible reclassification using alternate codes if further machine-specific use can be confidently evidenced.
  5. For Ceramic and Molybdenum Goods, maintain full documentation; these have stable, accepted HTS assignments but must be kept current to avoid audit flags.
  6. Schedule quarterly review of ambiguous/”other” category codes to minimize compliance risk and support faster customs clearance.
