TSUSA and International Trade Economy

In relation to international trade economy, Christopher Mark (1993) provided the following definition of TSUSA (Tariff Schedules of the United States, Annotated): The classification system in which US import data are recorded according to 10,500 seven-digit product categories. .The TSUSA is the legal basis for US Customs duty calculations. Schedule A is a rearrangement of TSUSA import data in a form closely resembling the SITC international data format developed by the United Nations. Schedule B is the export equivalent of the TSUSA, and Schedule E is the rearrangement of Schedule B data conforming to the of SITC format. The End-Use classification system, developed by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis, rearranges TSUSA and Schedule B data into categories associated with the principal uses of the traded goods. Finally, the SIC-Based Trade Data classification system, developed by the Census Bureau, transforms original TSUSA and Schedule B data into an approximation of the SIC format.
