Why HS Codes Matter:

HS or Harmonized System code is a standardized numerical method of classifying traded products. Customs authorities worldwide utilize it to identify products when assessing duties and taxes, as well as to gather statistical data. The importer is solely responsible for reporting the correct Harmonized System (HS) code to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), ensuring accurate tariff classifications and compliance with applicable trade regulations.

Common Questions

✅ What is an HS or HTS code?

The HS (Harmonized System) is a global classification system for goods. The HTS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule) is the U.S. version, used to determine import duties, trade rules, and documentation requirements.

​

✅How do I find the correct HTS code for my product?

 You can search the official U.S. HTS database at hts.usitc.gov using keywords or product descriptions. For accuracy, consult your customs broker or request a binding ruling at erulings.cbp.gov.

​

✅What are Section 301 tariffs (Trump Tariffs)?

Section 301 tariffs are additional duties imposed on certain Chinese-origin goods as part of U.S. trade enforcement actions. They are applied on top of regular import duties.

​

✅How do I know if my item is affected by Section 301?

Check the Section 301 HTS cross-reference list. If your 8-digit HTS code is listed, it’s subject to these additional tariffs unless excluded.
