Find the HS code for any product.

The Harmonized System is the World Customs Organization's product classification used by nearly every country. The first 2 digits are the chapter, 4 digits the heading, 6 digits the subheading — the level that's standard worldwide. Countries extend it to 8–10 digits (like the US HTS or EU CN) for national tariff lines.

For freight quotes and most paperwork, the 6-digit subheading is what forwarders ask for. For exact duty rates you need your destination country's 8–10 digit extension of that subheading — your customs broker or the national tariff database gives you that in minutes once you have the right 6 digits.

No — classification is legally the importer's responsibility, and borderline products can genuinely fall under more than one code. Use this to get to the right neighborhood fast; for high-stakes shipments, confirm with your broker or request a binding ruling from the destination customs authority.

Duty is often the difference between a deal and a dud. Knowing the code before you talk to a booth means you can estimate landed cost on the spot instead of discovering a 12% tariff after the samples ship. Our Landed Cost calculator takes it from there.
