HS Code Lookup Tool: Find the Right Import Classification
Use a plain-English HS and HTS code lookup workflow to classify products before estimating US import duty and landed cost.
HS code lookup starts the import-cost calculation
Every customs duty estimate depends on classification. The HS code gives the global six-digit structure; the US HTS code adds more digits for US-specific duty treatment. If the classification is wrong, the duty estimate is wrong.
TariffCheck uses a plain-English workflow in the tariff calculator: describe the product, confirm origin, then estimate duty layers.
What to include in your product description
- Main material
- Function or use
- Whether it is a part, accessory, raw material, or finished good
- How it is packaged or sold

Can AI guarantee the correct HS code?
No. AI can narrow the likely classification and speed up research, but final customs treatment may require a broker, ruling, or official HTS review.
