Understanding HTS Codes for U.S. Imports
HTS codes (Harmonized Tariff Schedule codes) are 8- or 10-digit numeric codes issued by U.S. Customs that classify products being imported into the United States. These codes determine the Duties and Tariffs applicable to your shipment.
🔢 Common HTS Code Formats:
1111.22.331111.22.1111.22.33.44
Each code corresponds to a specific product category and is assigned a percentage rate, which is then applied to the commercial invoice value to calculate the total import duty and/or tariff the importer must pay.
