Rulings

The
Rulings
screen provides single-point access to Classification and Origin Rulings also covered in the
Global Tariffs Detail
screen under the
Rulings
and
Origin
tabs. This screen can be a standalone search tool, if you are not subscribed to Global Tariffs Content.
This screen can be opened by choosing
Rulings
from the
Content
menu.
Selecting this screen displays the most recent rulings from the past thirty (30) days across all countries in a grid.
To perform searches on different rulings by multiple selections, view rulings for a specific country or for all subscribed countries where rulings are available.
Rulings can be narrowed down by type (classification, origin, valuation, or all rulings) or by typing a specific HS Number/keyword into
Enter/Select HS Number
or
Description
or
Reference Code
.
Once search parameters are selected, the screen displays a table with the search results. This table can be sorted and filtered. The description of the rulings is truncated for a more convenient search, and the pager defaults to showing ten (10) results per page.
Users can see full descriptions of the details by selecting the
Show Full Description
link and changing the number of results displayed by using the
Page size
drop-down.
The
Rulings
screen displays the following detail information:
Detail information

Effective Date

Expiration Date

If different search criteria are selected (specifying a country or selecting a different HS/Description/Reference Code), the new search results appear in a new tab, allowing you to go between the current and previous searches.
The same applies to switching between
Classification
and
Origin
rulings searches.
The
Reference Code
hyperlinks to the
Binding Rulings Detail
pop-up. It follows the same layout as the detail screen linked to the
Rulings
and
Origin
tabs in the
Global Tariffs Detail
screen. Please see the detailed description above.
When searching by Description, type a word/word combination and click Search or choose one of the HS Numbers suggested in the
HS Quick Search Keywords
drop-down.
The search result tab displays the searched words, or the HS selected, if the keyword function was chosen.
