HTS Code Sanity Check

Already have an HTS code but not sure if it is correct? Go beyond basic code validation with a structured review of your product's HTS classification, potential classification discrepancies, reporting requirements, and other red flags that may warrant further review.

What this tool checks

  • Whether your entered code appears in the available USITC HTS dataset and how complete the code is.
  • How the product’s reported materials, function, form, and configuration relate to the official HTS description path.
  • Specific HTS requirements that need clarification through targeted follow-up questions.
  • Potential product–code conflicts and gaps in the supporting facts you report.

What you’ll get

  • A code lookup result with official tariff descriptions, listed duty-rate information where available, and the dataset refresh date.
  • A preliminary product–code fit and support assessment based on your answers, when the fit review is available.
  • Red flags, missing information, and recommended next steps where identified.
  • A plain-language explanation of what to check before relying on the code.

Enter an existing HTS code, describe the product, and answer targeted follow-up questions where available. Your progress is saved in this browser so you can return to it later.
