Anyone know how to upload the HTS files from 3rd party provider to GTS??

[Former Member]

We are having following files provided by 3rd party provider - CUSTOMS Info

NAFTA ROO

U.S. HTS

Per provider, SAP has developed a system so that GTS users can automatically reclassify items that are effected by a change and they have asked us to program the HS data needed.

Anyone know how to do that?

Please advise,

Appreciated.

Hi Rick,

If you want to upload HTS codes into GTS system which has provided by Customs Info just go to the GTS cockpit under customs management chose classification > upload manually HTS codes into GTS system just execute and select the XML file and save it

Hi Reddy,

Thanks for your input firstly, and i still need ur advise on the HTS upload.

1. Below is the HTS files provided by 3rd party company. and I noticed that there is 3 types of files. "DTR" , "Nom" and "Txt". Could you explain what are they? and If I need to upload them seperately?

2. Follow the procedure your provided - "classification > upload manually HTS codes into GTS system" Actually, I didn't find upload mannually HTS codes into GTS IN THE SAP CUSTOM Managment.

I tried "Load Traiff Code Numbers from XML files" and "Load Commodity code from XML file".

1) "Load Traiff Code Numbers from XML files"

2) "Load Commodity code from XML file".

a) Select all files.

- fill in "Data Provider",

- "XML Files"-All files selected.

- check " Output list", "simulation mode" "Nomenclature Active" and "Activate All Text Types"

- no "Alternative Numbering Scheme" selected, and other selected.

Error msg found:

- Unable to find any defined structures for tariff assignment rule set "_DHSCN"

- Incorrect order. Enter the first file(see long text)

b) only select "HSCN_Txt_I_00002001001.xml", the other is the same like bove.

1. prompted to select a "From-Time Zone", Select "UTC+8"

2. Simulation was carried out successfully

c) only select "HSCN_Nom_I_00002001002.xml", the other is the same like above.

But I meet error for this file: "Incorrect order. Enter the first file(see long text)"

d) only select "HSCN_DTR_I_00002001007.xml", the other is the same like above.

meet error msg:

"Unable to find any defined structures for tariff assignment rule set "_DHSCN""

Rick,

If memory serves, you'll need to do a couple of things before you run this transaction to upload the files.

First, you have to create a business partner in the system with Role SLLDAP (data provider) to represent CustomsInfo or whomever you get your data from.

Next, the error messages you are getting are pointing to incomplete configuration, specifically, /nSPRO > SAP Global Trade Services > General Settings > Numering Schemes > Define Numbering Schema for Commodity Codes, etc.

The system logic for upload doesn't the know the structure of the code numbers until you specificy them. A good examples is an HS number versus and ECCN (you didnt mention the latter, but is is easier to understand).

The HS number is harmonized to the 6th digit and, depending on its usage, you'll need to specify the length beyond 6, whether 8 or 10 or whatever. It's all numeric and might take the form nnnn-nn-nn, etc.

An ECCN is five digit and the second digit is a letter, so you have to specify to the system this order: nAnnn, such that something like "5A001" can be loaded into the system.

Finally, you might have to associate the data to a legal regulation (can't remember this specifically), as HTSUS is different than other HS number systems for other countries (e.g., France, who have a statistical appendix from digits 11-13).

Hope this helps you down the path a little further....
