•         Chapter 99 contains the Conditional or End-Use Tariff Items.

•         However, End-Use Tariff Items or what the Department of Finance refers to as “Manufacturing Inputs” can actually be found Throughout the Nomenclature.

Example

Our example is HS Classification number: 607.19.21.00 —- This Classification number provides Duty Free access to Blanks when for use in the manufacture of wheel & axle combinations for railway & tramway (including subway cars) passenger coaches

•         In order to utilize a Ch 99 conditional tariff items, there are certain conditions and obligations that must be met & fulfilled before using such codes.

•         They include Proof of End-Use, such as copies of contracts, purchase orders, and auditable Audit Trails. Other questions that you may want to satisfy would include; Are the goods listed? Do they meet the terms & conditions of the code? Etc.

•         If the Goods are “Diverted” from a Ch99 Conditional tariff item, be prepared to file a voluntary amendment with the Agency in order to account for this change in end-use.
