HTS code lookup
US HTS code lookup
Enter a product name or HS code to find the matching US HTS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule) code and its classification description — the first step before calculating duty.
What is a US HTS code lookup?
A US HTS code lookup resolves a product name or HS code to its specific classification under the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Past the internationally shared HS6 prefix, the US extends the code to 8-10 digits based on material, use, and construction — the same product category can map to several different HTS codes and base rates depending on those facts.
HS code vs US HTS code
The terms are often used interchangeably, but a US import entry ultimately needs the applicable US HTS line.
| Term | Scope | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| HS code | Internationally shared through 6 digits | Use it to identify the common product heading and subheading. |
| US HTS code | US extension to 8-10 digits | Use it for US classification, MFN rates, and Chapter 99 overlay checks. |
| US customs code | Usually means the HTS code | Confirm the specific HTS description rather than relying on HS6 alone. |
| China HS code | China extension to 8-10 digits | Do not reuse it as a US code; bridge through the shared HS6 first. |
How it works
- Enter a product name (in English or Chinese) or a known HS code.
- Review the candidate US HTS codes with their descriptions and MFN base rates.
- Compare the description against your product facts, then open HTS detail or calculate the duty.
FAQ
How do I look up the tariff for goods exported from China to the US?
Search here by product name or China HS code to find the matching US HTS code, confirm the classification description fits your product, then open the duty calculator with China as the origin to get the total rate.
What makes up the total US tariff rate?
Once classified to a specific HTS code, the total rate is the USITC column-1 MFN base rate plus any Chapter 99 overlay that applies to the origin country — Section 301, IEEPA, or Reciprocal tariffs.
Does the rate shown here include Section 301?
No — this page shows the MFN base rate for each HTS code only. Use the duty calculator with an origin selected to see the total rate including Section 301 and other overlays.
I only have a China HS code, not a US HTS code — what do I do?
Use the China HS to US HTS bridge tool: enter the China HS8/HS10 code or a Chinese product name and it returns the US HTS candidates sharing the same HS6 anchor.
