The 3 Pillars of Customs Regulation see or video below

1️⃣ Nature (Tariff Classification)
The nature of a product defines what the goods are.
It involves assigning the correct tariff classification (HS code) based on the product’s characteristics, composition, and function.
Correct classification ensures the right duties, restrictions, and regulations apply.

2️⃣ Origin (Preferential or Non-Preferential)
The origin of a product indicates where the goods come from.
It determines eligibility for preferential tariffs, compliance with rules of origin, and the applicability of trade agreements, quotas, or sanctions.

3️⃣ Value (Customs Value)
The value refers to how much the goods are worth for customs purposes.
It involves calculating the correct customs value, usually based on the transaction value, and may include adjustments such as freight, insurance, royalties, or commissions.

Why These Pillars Matter

Together, Nature, Origin, and Value form the foundation of customs compliance—they determine duties, taxes, import requirements, and legal responsibilities.
Getting them right means fewer delays, fewer penalties, and smoother cross-border trade operations.
