Source Note

Official check

Verify final codes in official systems such as USITC HTS, EU TARIC, UK Trade Tariff, or with a licensed customs broker.

Limitations

Filing check

This tool provides estimates and document preparation support only. It is not customs, tax, legal, broker, or freight forwarding advice. HS code candidates and duty estimates must be verified with official tariff databases or a licensed customs broker before filing.

FAQ

Common questions

How do I find the correct HS code for my product?

Start with a product description that includes material, function, and intended use. Then review candidate codes against official tariff databases.

What happens if I use the wrong HS code?

Wrong codes can cause delays, incorrect duty, penalties, reclassification, or broker review. Always verify before filing.

Is this a binding classification?

No. It is a candidate-finding tool only.

Does the first 6 digits work globally?

The first 6 HS digits are internationally harmonized, but destination markets add national extensions and rates.

Can I classify a full catalog?
