Official verification
Start with HS. Finish with the destination tariff.
The first six digits form the international HS framework. Importing markets can extend that structure for tariff, statistical and regulatory purposes. Duty rates and additional measures can depend on destination, origin, product specifications and entry date.

Common questions
HS code lookup FAQ
Is a 6-digit HS code the final customs code?
Not necessarily. The six-digit HS provides the international classification starting point. Importing markets can extend it with additional national digits for tariff, statistical or regulatory purposes.
Can I use the HS code my supplier gives me?
Treat it as a useful reference, not an automatic final answer. Verify the code against the destination tariff and the actual product facts before customs filing.
Does this tool show the current import duty?
No. This lightweight tool intentionally does not publish live duty, VAT, Section 301, FTA or other measure calculations. Use the official destination tariff source and the responsible customs professional for current treatment.
What product details improve classification?
Material composition, principal function, technical specifications, construction, manufacturing details, intended use and regulated components can all change the classification.
