Classifying products involved in foreign trade and using the correct HS Code is an important and sometimes challenging task that falls under the responsibility of companies. Those who haven’t yet used innovative solutions like the AI-powered HS Calculus ©, especially for hard-to-classify products, often request the relevant ministry or customs authority to determine the correct HS Code for their products.

Binding Tariff Information (BTI) is an administrative decision issued by the relevant country’s Ministry or Customs Authority in response to a written or electronic request from a person, regarding the classification of goods in the Customs Tariff Schedule.

BTI decisions are usually valid for a certain period, and this period varies by country. For instance, in our country, the decision is valid for 6 years from the issuance date, while in the UK and European Union countries, it is valid for 3 years.

Customs authorities must classify goods that are clearly identical to those in the BTI, in accordance with the BTI determination and accept the same HS Code.

You can access information about BTI decisions, such as HS Code, Issuing Country, Issued Language, and Validity Period through the database.
