HTS code lookup

HTS Code Lookup

An HTS code lookup is a search tool that returns the 10-digit US Harmonized Tariff Schedule code for any imported product, plus the current MFN duty rate, applicable Chapter 99 overlays, and USMCA/FTA eligibility. LandedFees indexes all 19,000 lines from the current USITC HTS revision. Follow the same walk in our HS code lookup guide, and see the current overlay math in the Section 232 aluminum 50% calculator.

Start typing to search

Search United States (HTS) by product name (e.g. "wireless earbuds") or by code prefix (e.g. "8471.30"). Results appear as you type.

How it works

STEP 01
Search by keyword
Type what the product is (for example, aluminum bracket, cotton t-shirt, lithium-ion battery). Results filter live across all 19,000 HTS lines by heading text, subheading text, and any statistical note.
STEP 02
Refine by chapter
Narrow the list by 2-digit HTS chapter to eliminate irrelevant sections. Chapters map to material or function, so a metal fastener sits in Chapter 73 (iron and steel articles) or 76 (aluminum) rather than 84 (machinery).
STEP 03
View the 10-digit HTS and duty rate
Open any hit to see the full 10-digit HTS, its column-1 MFN duty rate, any Chapter 99 overlay in force (Section 232, 301, 122), USMCA or other FTA eligibility, and the CROSS rulings that classify similar goods.

Frequently asked questions

What is an HTS code?: An HTS code is the 10-digit US Harmonized Tariff Schedule number that US Customs and Border Protection uses to classify every imported good and assign its duty rate, Chapter 99 overlays, and free-trade eligibility. The first 6 digits align with the international HS system; the last 4 digits are US statistical suffixes.
HS code vs HTS code, what is the difference?: The HS code is the 6-digit international Harmonized System maintained by the World Customs Organization and used by 200+ countries. The HTS code is the US extension of that same 6-digit HS to 10 digits, adding tariff and statistical granularity specific to US imports. Every HTS code starts with a valid HS-6.
How many digits is a US HTS code?: A US HTS code is 10 digits. The first 2 identify the chapter (for example 84 for machinery), the next 2 the heading, then the 6-digit international HS subheading, and the final 4 are US tariff and statistical suffixes assigned by USITC and CBP. Some Chapter 99 overlay numbers use the same 10-digit format.
How often is the HTS updated?: USITC publishes formal HTS revisions on a quarterly cadence, with interim supplements issued whenever a Presidential proclamation, Federal Register notice, or USTR determination changes a rate. Chapter 99 overlays (Section 232, 301, 122) can shift mid-quarter, so LandedFees refreshes the base schedule and the overlay tables every night.
Do I need an HTS code for import?: Yes. Every formal US entry (CBP Form 7501 or the electronic equivalent) requires a 10-digit HTS code for each line item. The code drives the duty owed, entry type, admissibility flags (FDA, EPA, USDA), FTA eligibility, and any Chapter 99 tariff overlay. Informal entries under $2,500 still require classification even if duty is nil.
What if I use the wrong HTS code?: Misclassification exposes the importer to duty shortfall plus penalties under 19 USC 1592 (up to the domestic value of the goods for gross negligence). If you discover an error, CBP allows a Post Summary Correction within 300 days of entry summary and a protest under 19 USC 1514 within 180 days of liquidation to recover overpaid duty.
How do I find the HTS code for my product?: Start with plain-language keywords describing what the product is made of and what it does, narrow to the correct chapter (raw material, function, or use), then walk down through the 4-digit heading and 6-digit subheading using the chapter notes. Verify against CROSS rulings for similar goods. LandedFees lets you search by wording or by prefix and shows related rulings.
Can I use an HS code instead of HTS?: Not on a US entry. HS is the 6-digit international code and is not accepted by CBP for entry filing, which requires the full 10-digit HTS. HS-6 is fine for supplier quotes, freight bookings, and non-US customs paperwork, but the moment goods enter US commerce the 10-digit HTS is mandatory.
