HTS Code Lookup

The Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States has over 17,000 individual line items, and the duty rate, admissibility rules, and statistical reporting requirements all depend on finding the right one. CBP doesn't accept "close enough" — a misclassified heading can mean the wrong duty rate, a missing quota entry, or an AD/CVD order you didn't know applied. The six General Rules of Interpretation govern classification in sequence, and most classification disputes come down to GRI 3 — when goods are classifiable under two or more headings. We cover the HTSUS chapter by chapter, CBP binding ruling requests, and the classification methodology that holds up in a protest or audit.
