Does an HTS code change only once a year?
No. USITC publishes a basic annual edition and may publish multiple in-year revisions. The announcement archive lists official publication dates.
What does not found in current revision mean?
The exact normalized number was not found in the active stored revision. Recheck the number at USITC and research the current legal structure; do not assume a replacement from a similar description.
Does current entry found mean my code is correct?
No. It confirms code presence only. Correct classification still depends on the product material, function, construction, components, use, legal notes, and other relevant facts.
Why are the duty rates shown as raw text?
US HTS duty lines may contain free, ad valorem, specific, compound, special-program, or other source wording. Showing raw text avoids converting a complex duty expression into a false universal percentage.
Can I check a supplier spreadsheet?
Yes. Paste one code per line or simple CSV rows in the free checker. Paid accounts can create versioned baselines for larger catalog batches and export the saved review list.
What does the paid HTS monitor do?
It saves each SKU and exact code with the active revision snapshot, keeps one-time and monthly credit use in the existing ledger, rechecks saved rows against the active revision, and exports baseline/current fields and change status.
Does the monitor cover Section 301 or AD/CVD?
Not in its change status. It monitors ordinary HTS entry fields. Chapter 99 and trade-remedy scope require separate official checks using origin, date, product scope, and governing documents.
