Commodity Information Fields
Enter the specific details of the cargo below. Unlike standard manifests, In-Bond commodities often require value and HTS codes.
| Field | Description & Requirements |
|---|---|
| Description | A plain language description of the goods. Must be sufficient to identify cargo for customs purposes. Constraint: Must be between 1 and 45 characters. |
| Quantity | The number of packages (must be a whole number). Use the dropdown to select the package type (e.g., Boxes, Barrels, Skids). |
| Net Weight | The net weight of the goods (must be a whole number). Use the dropdown to select the unit (e.g., Pounds, Kilograms). |
| Value | The total value of the goods in U.S. Dollars. |
| HTS Code | The first 6 digits of the commodity's Harmonized Tariff Schedule classification. Format: Enter as 6 digits without decimals. |
| Marks and Numbers | Enter any symbols, numbers, or markings visible on the outside of the packaging. |
HTS Code Advice: If you cannot locate the correct harmonized code on your paperwork, it is highly recommended that you consult with your client or their customs broker, as classification requires specific training.
