Study Guide

Once the section and chapter list has been used to identify a particular chapter, the next step is to locate the appropriate heading within that chapter.

The Nomenclature itself contains neither a chapter/section list nor a list of headings within each chapter.

However, some administrations, Australia for example, have incorporated heading lists within their national tariff structures. Together with the chapter and section list, the heading lists give classifiers a fast way into a document that otherwise feels overwhelming.

Example: classifying fresh apples Step 1.  Use the chapter/section list to identify the chapter → Chapter 8. Step 2.  Examine the headings list for Chapter 8 → fresh apples appear at heading 08.08. A listing of all the headings is available in the Study Guide Supplement.
