What a heading? It 's a nice numeric code that identifies a certain type produced in the customs system. As you can imagine all the bubbles customs must include the headings of the various products.
This is not so simple. For example, you want to export a closet? Please note that the headings for the cupboards are so many .... cabinets for the living room, for the bedroom, office, and closets "where not elsewhere specified" (do not ask what kind of closet is).
Here follows a pair of output of one of my customs agents, absolutely unforgettable.
1) WHAT ARE THE PANTS?
From a conversation actually took place between my colleague and the guard and F.
F: You know I've seen several products on the invoice ...
E: Excuse me?
F: Panties, socks, t-shirts .....
E: What do you know?
F: What are clothes?
E: No, look, have nuclear weapons!
F: Seriously I have to put that heading
E: Clothing of textile materials maybe?
2) The extinguisher MYSTERIES
We were exporting a truck full of carbon dioxide extinguishers. There is a beautiful heading that reads "whether or not charged fire extinguishers and similar equipment.
Do you think he used that? Nooooooo
He used his voice to liquid carbon dioxide! Who does not export liquid carbon dioxide with a truck tarpaulin and no container!
3) THE BELIZE IS NOT 'IN SOUTH AMERICA
The customer invoice was made out to a company in Belize and clearly stated, as the final destination of the goods, an address in Baku (capital of Azerbaijan). The recipient of the customs bill was drawn more or less like this:
Sith LLC
3 XXX Road
Belize City (Azerbaijan)
Stay tuned for future adventures of the legendary F.
