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.

Against the alternatives

Self-serve, priced for teams, honest about being AI

Customs broker per line

Days per request, a fee per SKU, and the rationale lives in the broker's inbox.

Enterprise compliance suites

Powerful, but sales-led contracts, long onboarding and database-lookup UX built for Fortune 500 trade departments.

Checkout landed-cost widgets

Fine for ecommerce checkout totals, but classification is a black box and there is no compliance workspace.

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.

Straight answers

The questions importers ask first

No. Every result is an AI best-effort classification for guidance and speed. You, or your broker, confirm before filing. That honesty is the point: the paid product adds saved, reviewable, auditable classifications your team can stand behind.
Treat them as estimates built on the classified code and your lane. The arithmetic is exact; the rate is the AI's best reading of the schedule. Verify before you file, and read how the math works on the import duty calculator page.
Yes. The demo on this page is real and free to use, and your account adds saved history, bulk CSV runs and team seats on any plan.
Type a plain-English description with the material, function and construction into the classifier at the top of this page. You get the 10-digit HTS code, the heading text, the reasoning and the nearest alternative codes. By hand, the same job means the USITC search plus the chapter and section notes.
Yes. On Growth and Business you upload a CSV with one product description per row and get a code, a rationale and the runner-up codes for every line, with low-confidence rows flagged for review. Teams that want codes inside an ERP or storefront call the same engine through the HS code API.
Starter is $59 a month for 100 classifications, Growth is $199 for 1,000 with bulk CSV (about 20 cents each) and Business is $499 for 10,000. A customs broker usually charges $50 to $200 for a documented review of one product. The demo is free to try and needs no card.
