What It Means to Believe
Some people believe that the first U.S. moon landing was staged in a Hollywood studio and some people believe the earth is flat. Others believe chocolate milk comes from brown cows. Some people believe shape-shifting lizard people secretly run the world’s governments and media. Some people believe that the U.S. import tariffs are paid by the exporting country, and if that’s true then a brown cow was the first to land on the moon. But this fact was of course hidden from us via shape shifting lizards running the government. Be true to what you believe. At Braumiller Law Group we believe that our focusing on Global Trade Compliance, and no other practice area will make you a believer in our capabilities.

Monkeys and Harmonized Tariff Schedule
If classifying product within the harmonized tariff schedule was so easy that a monkey could do it, where are all those monkey classifiers? Fact is, classifying product correctly takes a certain amount of expertise. There are 21 sections, 96 chapters, 1,228 headings (4 digit codes) and 5,612 sub-headings (6 digit HS codes). Countries like the U.S. expand these 6 digit codes for a more detailed classification and getting it right the first time is essential to ensure that the supply chain is compliant.
Tariffs on Canadian Lumber
With all that is going on in the world of trade these days it does beg the question: exactly how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
