How to Find Your HTS Code
How to Find Your HTS Code
Start with what the product is, what it is made of, and how it is used. Search our HTS-8 tariff calculator by keyword or code stem, then validate ambiguous cases with a customs broker.
Step-by-Step
- Write a neutral product description (materials, function, form).
- Search likely chapters (metals, textiles, machinery, etc.).
- Compare candidate HTS-8 descriptions.
- Note the weighted rate for planning.
- Confirm before a material entry.
Mistakes to Avoid
Using marketing names, ignoring kits/sets rules, and copying a competitor's code without reading the description.
