For official HTS code information, visit the U.S. Census Bureau’s HTS website. This resource provides guidelines for classifying goods for international trade.

Access UNIS’s HTS code database to identify appropriate classifications for compost shipments. This ensures compliance with international trade regulations.

Compost requires a minimum 10ft x 15ft area with 12ft height clearance. Palletized loads should be stacked securely, with interlocking pallets for stability. Weight capacity depends on load volume.

Use lifting equipment for palletized loads and sturdy containers for bags. Ensure storage areas are level, debris-free, and free from contaminants. Avoid direct sunlight and maintain ventilation.

Palletized storage is recommended for bulk compost. Bagged compost should use shelving units with at least 8ft height. Ensure padding around stacked items to prevent damage.

A 12ft-wide loading dock and 9ft-wide door are required for truck access. Maintain 8ft clearance around dock areas for equipment maneuvering. Ensure durable, cleanable flooring.

Storage costs depend on facility size, security requirements, and handling complexity. Larger quantities may reduce per-unit costs, while specialized packaging increases expenses.
