Question 1

How do I find the HTS code for my product?

Accepted Answer

Search by what the product is (e.g. "smartphones" or "cast iron skillet") or by a code or heading number (e.g. "8517" or "8517.13"). The lookup returns matching 10-digit HTS codes from the full HTSUS with their duty rates. For a defensible classification you should also document the GRI reasoning and supporting CBP rulings.

Question 2

Is the HTS code lookup free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The lookup is a free tool that searches the complete Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. There is no login or credit card required.

Question 3

What duty rates does the lookup show?

Accepted Answer

Each result shows the HTSUS General (Column 1) rate, the Special (free-trade-agreement) rate, and the Column 2 rate. Selecting a country of origin also layers on the Section 301, IEEPA, and reciprocal tariff overlays in force for that origin.

Question 4

Does the lookup include Section 301 and other tariffs?

Accepted Answer

When you choose a country of origin, the lookup adds the applicable Section 301, IEEPA, and reciprocal overlays on top of the base HTSUS rate. Chapter-99 program duties not keyed to a product code may apply separately — confirm before filing.

Question 5

How many digits is a US HTS code?

Accepted Answer

A full US HTS code is 10 digits: the first 6 are the international HS subheading, digits 7–8 are the US tariff rate line, and digits 9–10 are the statistical suffix. See the HTSUS guide for a full breakdown.
