As a reminder, sets which are classifiable in accordance with GRI 3(b) or 3(c) of the HTS, report in column 30 the HTS number from which the rate of duty for the set is derived.
Precede this number with an SPI of "X."
Each article in the set (including the article designated with a prefix of "X") should be reported on a separate line as if it were separately classified.
Precede these HTS numbers with an SPI of "V."
Report the quantity and value attributed to each article associated with the "V" SPI.
All other reporting requirements including, but not limited to, quota, visa, licensing, and other government agency requirements, should be reported along with the appropriate HTS number preceded with an SPI of "V."
Further information on the X and V codes are found in Appendix B of the CATAIR (see page B-33). Additional information on how to classify sets can be found in the informed compliance publication, �Classification of Sets,� located on CBP.gov.
