HS Code Lookup

Every product that crosses a border is classified with a Harmonized System (HS) code. Search a product below to find its common 6-digit HS code, or browse all 99 chapters. The first 6 digits are the same worldwide — the US adds 4 more digits to form the 10-digit HTS (imports) and Schedule B (exports) codes.

Before you ship

HS codes on this page are indicative classifications for common products, not binding rulings. The final classification depends on the product's exact material, function and construction, and is decided by customs. Always confirm before filing: search the official USITC HTS database, check past decisions in CBP CROSS rulings, or ask a licensed customs broker. A wrong code can change your duty rate, trigger Section 301 tariffs, or get a shipment held.

Frequently asked questions

What is an HS code?

An HS code is a 6-digit number from the Harmonized System maintained by the World Customs Organization (WCO). More than 200 economies use it to classify traded goods. The digits work in pairs: the first two are the chapter, the next two the heading, and the last two the subheading.

What is the difference between HS, HTS and Schedule B codes?

They share the same first 6 digits. The US extends the code to 10 digits: HTS codes are used for goods imported into the US (the extra digits set the duty rate and statistics), and Schedule B codes are used for US exports.

How do I find the HS code for my product?

Work from general to specific: identify the chapter for the product's material and function, narrow to the 4-digit heading, then the 6-digit subheading. Composite products are usually classified by their essential character. Confirm with the USITC HTS search or CBP CROSS rulings, or request a binding ruling from CBP if the value at stake justifies it.

Why does the correct HS code matter?

The code determines the duty rate you pay, whether additional measures such as Section 301 tariffs or antidumping duties apply, and which import restrictions and licenses apply. Misclassification can lead to overpaid duties, delays, penalties, or seizure.

Do Amazon and other marketplaces require HS codes?

For cross-border shipments, yes — carriers and customs brokers need at least the 6-digit HS code on the commercial invoice, and marketplaces increasingly ask for it when you create international listings or ship with their logistics programs.
