Free demo, no card required. The demo above is the real classifier.
Right HS/HTS code
Chapter to subheading, with runner-ups considered.
Duty, tax and landed cost
The real cost of entry on your exact lane.
A rationale you can defend
Plain-English reasoning, ready for an audit.
Why teams switch
Classification is the bottleneck. Remove it.
01
Classify in seconds, not a broker email
Type the product the way you would say it out loud. The AI reads the tariff schedule for you and returns the most likely HS/HTS code plus the two nearest alternatives, so a new SKU never waits days on a per-line broker fee.
02
Stop overpaying duty
Near-identical codes can sit percentage points apart. Getting the right one, with the reasoning written down, is the difference between the correct duty and quietly overpaying on every entry.
03
Know the landed cost before you ship
Duty and import tax are computed on your exact origin and destination lane, so international pricing and DDP quotes rest on the true cost of entry, not the supplier invoice alone. See the landed cost calculator.
04
Defend every classification
Every code ships with a plain-English rationale a compliance manager can repeat to customs. Your account adds saved history and an audit trail across your whole team.
How it works
Describe. Classify. Cost.
A tariff code lookup here starts from a plain-English product description, not a 5,000-line schedule. You get the 10-digit HTS code, the heading text, a written reason for the call, the runner-up codes and, once you pick the lane, the duty and landed cost.
STEP 1
Describe
Write the product in plain English: material, function, construction. "Single-wall stainless steel water bottle, 750 ml" is plenty.
STEP 2
Classify
The AI returns the most likely HS/HTS code, the official heading text, a written rationale, and the runner-up codes with the factor that would flip them.
STEP 3
Cost
Pick the lane and the shipment value: duty, import tax and estimated landed cost are computed for that exact code and destination.
The classifier also runs full-page on the harmonized tariff schedule lookup.
What decides the code
Three details decide most classifications: material, function and construction. "Men's cotton t-shirt", "lithium-ion power bank, 20,000 mAh" and "single-wall stainless steel water bottle" each carry all three, and that is usually enough for a first-pass code. No chapter numbers, no legal phrasing. Textiles also need fiber content and knit or woven, electronics need finished device or part, food needs processing and packaging.
Why the runner-up codes matter
Classification disputes live in the gap between two plausible codes, so every result lists the nearest alternatives and the one factor that would flip the answer. If that factor is wrong for your product, you know exactly what to check before you file. The Harmonized System code guide shows how the digits nest, and the landed cost calculator adds freight, insurance and fees to the duty.

A note from the team building TariffWise
We built TariffWise because classification is the part of cross-border trade everyone quietly dreads: a 5,000-line schedule, near-identical codes, and real money riding on the difference. The classifier on this page is the actual engine behind the product, so you can see how it reasons before you pay a cent. If it is useful, create your account and put it to work on your catalog.
