Given the increase of the number of requests for binding tariff information submitted to the Customs Administration, North Macedonia has been working on the improvement of its classification infrastructure in order to achieve uniformity in the application of the HS Nomenclature. North Macedonia requested the WCO support in order to provide technical assistance in that regard.
An online workshop was held from 1 to 3 December 2020, with the participation of 31 Customs officials working with tariff classification. The workshop covered an introduction to the HS, its General Interpretative Rules, tariff classification of technical goods from Chapter 84 and Chapter 85, and introduced the participants to the amendments that would be brought in under HS 2022. It was organized jointly by the WCO and the Customs Administration of North Macedonia, with the support of CCF China, and was facilitated by three experts from the WCO Secretariat.
