• Have more certainty and reliability in receiving U.S.-controlled items that are included in their VEU authorization. If an item is included in a company’s VEU authorization, there is no uncertainty about whether an individual license application will be approved.

• HTS codes must be reported to foreign customs official at the time of import (typically reported on the Commercial Invoice)
• Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the U.S. provides product classification and rates of duty for U.S. imports.
