Hello,

I’m Andrés C. López, CHB, from Laredo, TX.

I have developed HTS PrepCourse

Methodology© to help students/workers

use the Harmonized Tariff System as a

practical tool for everyday use at their jobs,

for entry-level training or as a studying tool

for their Customs Broker’s examination.

My Methodology is based on the World

Customs Organization’s

six-digit tariff system and it is also available

in Spanish.

My Methodology allows the student to

visualize the HTS’ 21 Sections in a single

chart with representative images…

… match the color-coded Section

columns to the HTS tabs …

… identify the Sections and Chapters on

a single page…

… and, also, id. the Headings and sub-

Headings in a single page.

HTS PrepCourse Methodology© allows

the student to make a faster assessment

when studying for their Customs

Broker’s examination by combining the

Sections Chart, Tabs and sub-Heading

Index into their HTS book, thus making

the HTS book an easy tool to handle.

HTS PREPCOURSE

TABS INSERTED IN

HTS BOOK

My Methodology is complemented with a

very useful HTS’ General Rules of

Interpretation flowchart printed on the

back of the Sections Chart and

10mil-laminated for heavy use.

I am currently working with a systems company

to develop a website where students will be able

to log-in, train on their own, be graded and keep

track of their progress.

Hopefully my Methodology caught your

attention. If so, please don’t hesitate in

contacting me as I’ll be more than glad to

explain my Methodology further.

Thank you!

Regards,

Andrés C. López, CHB
