HS Code Lookup Tool: ecommerce imports
Search a small reference list of common product examples, then check the classification in your destination’s official tariff. This keyword lookup does not classify your product or calculate duty.
TL;DR
The first six digits of an HS code are shared internationally; national extensions add detail. This tool searches stored examples by keyword. A match does not verify material, construction, use, origin or the current tariff treatment. Confirm those details in the official tariff before using a code.
Why HS codes matter
Product classification depends on the goods themselves, including their material, use and construction. A similar product name is not enough to establish a code. Start with the official classification guidance.
How to read an HS code
- Chapter (2 digits) — broad product family, e.g. 61 = knitted apparel.
- Heading (4 digits) — narrower group, e.g. 6109 = T-shirts & vests.
- Subheading (6 digits) — specific product, e.g. 610910 = cotton t-shirts.
- National (8–10 digits) — country-specific extension, e.g. US HTS 6109.10.0040.
Check current classifications and duties in the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule, UK Trade Tariff or EU TARIC. This reference does not provide live duty rates.
Once you have confirmed the code, plug it into the landed-cost calculator with the duty rate from your destination country's tariff schedule.
