HS Code Lookup & Index

Cross-border planners: the ExportSonar port directory and the monthly Global Trade Signals report add logistics and policy context, while the WTO ePing notification mirror shows which SPS/TBT measures may hit your category next, while forced-labor diligence starts from the UFLPA entity list.

Frequently asked questions

At a glance

Where can I look up HS codes for free?

The ExportSonar HS index mirrors the complete US schedule without an account: all 23,193 ten-digit HTS lines from the USITC export of October 19, 2026, browsable chapter by chapter across 96 chapters. Every line page shows the Column 1 general rate, special-program symbols and the statistical suffixes, so you can confirm a classification before paying anyone.

What do the six digits in an HS code mean?

The first six digits are international: digit pairs identify the chapter, the heading and the subheading under the WCO Harmonized System used by more than 200 economies. The US then adds country-specific digits — eight for the tariff line, ten for the statistical suffix — which is why two traders quoting “the HS code” can still disagree on duty rates.

How do I find the HS code for my product?

Start from material composition and function, not the marketing name: identify the chapter, then narrow heading and subheading until you reach a ten-digit HTS line. Browse all 96 chapters or keyword-search the 23,193-line October 19, 2026 USITC export here, and each line page lists the statistical suffixes that distinguish look-alike products. When two headings plausibly fit, CBP CROSS rulings on the same product settle the classification.

How many HTS lines are duty-free right now?

8,504 of the 23,193 HTS lines in the October 19, 2026 USITC export carry a Free Column 1 general rate — about 36.7% of the schedule. Duty-free does not always mean cost-free: harbor maintenance fees and Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 still attach by origin, so check the full stacked rate on each line's calculator link.

How do I search a customs duty rate by HS code?

Enter the code — 6, 8 or 10 digits, dots optional — into the search box or the calculator. A 23,193-line schedule means most valid prefixes resolve instantly to a rate card showing the Column 1 general rate, special-program symbols and any stacking Chapter 99 measures, each with its effective date. Six-digit prefixes return every national ten-digit subdivision so near-miss classifications stay visible.
