There many different classifications, with only one being the most appropriate and correct. The classification determines the duty rate applicable to the value of the goods to compute the amount of duty due. Classification also influences other matters such as whether there will be anti-dumping duty payable, whether the goods require an import licence, if they qualify for a reduced or free rate of duty under concession.
