Trade Compliance Professional
HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) classification is a critical foundation of global trade compliance, directly impacting customs duty, tax applicability, and regulatory requirements. I have hands‑on experience in accurately classifying products under the Harmonized System by analyzing product composition, functionality, and end use in line with the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI).
My work involves conducting detailed product reviews, interpreting HS Explanatory Notes, and applying country‑specific tariff schedules to ensure consistent and defensible classifications. I collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams—including supply chain, procurement, and legal—to resolve classification ambiguities, manage reclassifications, and support audits or customs inquiries.
Through a structured and compliance‑driven approach, I help organizations minimize classification risk, avoid penalties, and maintain smooth cross‑border operations while adapting to regulatory updates and evolving trade requirements.
