***HTS Index NOTE***
ONESOURCE uses a term called “HTS Index.” This term applies to both the US HTS and any other country where a Commercial Transaction is made. For example, the Mexico table will include MXHTSIndex or AltHTSIndex”
The HTS Index is used to create a unique classification that can be assigned to a product or transaction; which allows having multiple transactions with different classifications for the same product. In most cases, this applies to changing tariff rates. In general terms, this code is formed from:
- HS Number (usually without dots)
- Export/Import Program (if applicable)
