Request HTS Classification

Not sure which tariff code applies to your product? Submit a classification request and a licensed customs broker will review it.

Quick answer for importers

What information do you need for HTS classification?

US tariff classification depends on what the product is, what it is made of, how it is used, and sometimes its origin, dimensions, components, or technical specifications. A good request includes product description, materials, intended use, country of origin, any current HTS code, annual value, and supporting context for broker review.

Why Classification Matters

  • Wrong HTS code = wrong duty rate. Misclassification can trigger CBP penalties up to 4x duties owed.
  • Right code can save thousands — FTA preferential rates, duty drawback, and foreign trade zone benefits all depend on correct classification.
  • A binding ruling from CBP protects you from retroactive reclassification for 3+ years.

Classification opinions are advisory. For legally binding determinations, request a CBP ruling via rulings.cbp.gov
