About

International HS Expertise,
U.S. Import Focus

13+ years working with the Harmonized System across multiple jurisdictions — now applied exclusively to HTSUS classification for U.S. importers.

International HS Expertise

A Different Kind of Specialist

Most U.S. classification consultants know the HTSUS. What sets Anastasia HTS Consulting apart is a foundation built on the Harmonized System itself — working with HS nomenclature as applied by multiple customs administrations around the world before focusing exclusively on U.S. import classification.

That international background is not incidental. It provides a structural understanding of how and why the HS works the way it does — insight that makes classification analysis deeper, faster, and more defensible.

The Harmonized System is a global framework — but its application varies by country, and the HTSUS is one of the most detailed and complex implementations of it. Understanding how other major customs regimes classify the same products reveals the underlying logic of the nomenclature in a way that purely domestic experience cannot.

With 13+ years of hands-on HS work across jurisdictions — including deep familiarity with WCO Explanatory Notes, the General Rules of Interpretation, and real-world classification disputes — Anastasia HTS Consulting brings that global perspective directly to the needs of U.S. importers.

The practice focuses exclusively on importers. Every service, every research method, and every opinion is built around one question: what does this classification mean for your entry, your duty liability, and your compliance posture in the U.S. market?

  • 13+ years with the Harmonized System across multiple customs jurisdictions
  • Deep command of WCO HS Explanatory Notes and GRI methodology
  • Experience across 50+ product categories and industries
  • Exclusively focused on U.S. import classification
  • Fully confidential consulting relationship
