How HTS Codes Work

Understanding the Harmonized Tariff Schedule system for US imports

Chapter System

HTS codes are organized into 97 chapters based on product type. The first 2 digits indicate the chapter (e.g., Chapter 84 for machinery).

Rate Types

General Rate applies to most countries. Special Rate applies to FTA partners (Canada, Mexico, Korea, etc.). Column 2 is for non-WTO members.

Classification

Accurate HTS classification is critical. Wrong codes can lead to underpayment penalties or overpayment of duties on your imports.

HS vs HTS

HS (Harmonized System) is the international standard (6 digits). HTS extends to 10 digits for US-specific tariff rates and statistical tracking.

Official Source

Data sourced from USITC (United States International Trade Commission). Updated annually with quarterly revisions for accuracy.

Updates & Revisions

HTS codes are updated throughout the year. Always verify current rates with CBP or a licensed customs broker before filing.
