What HTS Code Search does

Search every code of the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule by what a product is called or by its number, with the duty rate printed for where it ships from.

It covers the 2026 HTS Revision 23: 96 chapters, 1,228 headings and 19,926 full codes, each with the General, Special and Column 2 rates the schedule prints. Type a product the way you would describe it (“stainless steel hex bolts”, “lithium-ion battery pack”) or a code in any format (7318.15.20, 731815, chapter 73).

An opened result shows the rate for the country the goods ship from, walks the schedule's own choices to a full 10-digit code, works out the duty on a shipment from its value and quantity, and compares the printed rate across countries. Its tabs add, where U.S. import records cover the line, the effective rate by country (Census calculated duty as a share of customs value, Chapter 99 duties included), the price per unit by country and where buyers moved; the U.S. industry that makes it, state by state; every change USITC has printed to it since 2017; and a signed receipt for its rates.

What is an HTS code?

A Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) code classifies a product for import into the United States. The first six digits are the international Harmonized System; the U.S. adds two more for the duty rate (the 8-digit line) and two for statistics (the 10-digit code). Every import entry declares one, and the code decides the duty.

How do I find the HTS code for my product?

Describe it the way you would to a colleague: what it is, what it is made of and what it is for, such as “stainless steel hex bolts” or “aluminum pump housing”. HTS Code Search reads every line of the schedule with the headings above it and shows the best match first. Narrow it down then walks the schedule's own choices to a full 10-digit code.

How many HTS codes are there?

The 2026 HTS Revision 23 has 26,246 coded lines in chapters 1 to 97, from 4-digit headings to 10-digit statistical codes, and 11,414 of them carry a printed duty rate. HTS Code Search covers all of them.

Does the duty rate include Section 301, Section 232 or IEEPA tariffs?

No. The rates shown are the General, Special and Column 2 rates printed in the schedule. Additional duties in Chapter 99 depend on the product, the country of origin and the date of entry, and are charged on top. Where U.S. import records cover the line, an opened result's Effective Duty tab shows the effective rate by country: the Census Bureau's calculated duty as a share of customs value, Chapter 99 duties included. Census calls calculated duty an estimate; it is a guide to what entries carried, not anyone's bill.

How do I see what changed in an HTS code, or its rate on a past date?

Open the code and choose History: every change USITC has printed to the line since 2017, revision by revision, with the legal source for each, and its rates on any date back to 2002. What Changed (/hts/changes) shows what each revision changed across the whole schedule, the net change between any two dates, and any heading as it stood on a past date.

Can I be told when an HTS code changes?

Yes, without an account. Press Watch on any code and your watchlist (/hts/watchlist) shows what changed in it since you last looked; the list stays on your device. Every heading also has an RSS feed of the revisions that change it, and the feed of every revision is announced through WebSub as soon as a new one is published here.

How do I tell customers about a tariff surcharge?

The Surcharge Notice (/hts/surcharge) works out a surcharge from the duty change and the imported share of your price, and writes the letter that explains it, ready to print or copy, with a line you can add to a quote. It runs in your browser: nothing you type is sent to MFG Calcs. It is a template, not legal advice.

Which rate applies to goods from my country?

Pick the country under Ships from. Most countries pay the General rate. Goods that qualify under a free trade agreement or preference program can claim the Special rate printed for that program. Column 2 applies to countries without normal trade relations: Cuba, North Korea, Russia and Belarus.

How current is the schedule?

It is the 2026 HTS Revision 23, published by the U.S. International Trade Commission. A scheduled job checks for a new revision every day and updates the site when one is published.

Is a code from HTS Code Search a binding classification?

No. It is a strong lead, not a ruling. The importer is responsible for classification; confirm it with a licensed customs broker, or ask U.S. Customs and Border Protection for a binding ruling.

Is what I search private?

Yes. The search runs in your browser over a copy of the schedule. What you type is not sent to MFG Calcs or anyone else; recent searches are kept only on your device, and you can clear them.
