  1. Imports HS Reduction Proposal

  2. Background • Why reduce the existing coding structure? • More difficult to maintain the present HS System. • Difficult to ensure quality of trade data. • Increase in the number of codes increases the complexity of the system and therefore more difficult to interpret and administer. • Opportunity to streamline the system by investigating obsolete codes due to new technology or other reasons, and correct past oversights etc. Therefore, making it a classification that is more efficient and less cumbersome. • Opportunity to remove low use codes.

  3. HS Code Counts

  4. HS Code Counts

  5. Where Tariff or SS ≠ 00 Tariff Item Level: 7,961 Statistical: 13,943 Total Active Codes: 19,032 Current Counts

  6. Chapter Live Animals Sub-Heading: Pure-bred breeding animals Statistical Suffix: Horses Tariff Item Heading: Live Horses, Asses, Mules & Hinnies HS Import Code Structure 01 01 .10 .00 .10

  7. Effect of Tariff Level Changes 01.01 Live Horses, Asses, Mules & Hinnies Initial: 0101.10 - Pure-bred breeding animals: 0101.10.00. 10 - - - - - Horses 90 - - - - - Other Change: 0101.10 - Pure-bred breeding animals: 0101.10.10. - - - 3 Legged: 10 - - - - - Horses 90 - - - - - Other 0101.10.90. - - - Other: 10 - - - - - Horses 90 - - - - - Other

  8. Project Phases • Identify Possible codes for deletion • Communication with stakeholders • Resource Identification • Implementation

  9. Identify possible codes for deletion • Considerations: • Data Exchange • WCO requests (e.g. ozone, chemical weapons, narcotics) • Previous data user requests • Current data user purchases • Codes created for statistical processing • Possible Criteria: • Low Value • Obselence

  10. Communication • Major stakeholders: • CBSA • Department of Finance • Data users • USBC • Importers • Brokers • Import Associations • Other Government Departments

  11. Resources • Involves: • Subject Matter Officer resources • Metadata staff (Concepts & Liaison) • Marketing staff • Possible systems implications

  12. Implementation • Possible 2012 implementation • Considerations: • On-going Finance/CBSA updates • WCO 2012 changes
