You ask. We answer.
Where does the data come from?
Every rate returned by Tariffs API comes from the official US Harmonized Tariff Schedule published by USITC, combined with USTR, CBP, and Federal Register notices for Section 301, 232, 122, and IEEPA measures. We never invent numbers.
How often is it updated?
Base HTS data is refreshed weekly against USITC's published schedule. Chapter 99 and trade-measure updates are captured daily from USTR and CBP notices. Breaking changes (new Section 301 rounds, IEEPA proclamations) are applied within 24 hours of publication.
Do you cover Section 301, Section 232, IEEPA, and reciprocal tariffs?
Yes. Section 301 (China), Section 232 (steel, aluminum, autos, semiconductors), Section 122 reciprocal duties, and IEEPA measures (including 2025 baseline, fentanyl-trafficking, Brazil/India-specific) are all resolved and stacked correctly on top of base HTS rates. Chapter 99 reference codes are resolved to numeric rates when available.
What is an HTS code?
The Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) is the US classification system for every imported product, maintained by the USITC. An HTS code is 10 digits — the first 6 match the international Harmonized System (HS); the last 4 are US-specific. The code determines your base duty rate and which trade measures apply.
How do trade agreements affect the rate I pay?
If the country of origin has a free trade agreement with the US (USMCA, KORUS, etc.), eligible goods qualify for the Special rate column — often duty-free. Otherwise the General rate (Column 1) applies. Column 2 applies to a small set of non-MFN countries. Additional Section 301/232/IEEPA duties stack on top regardless of agreement eligibility.
Can I save the HTS codes I import?
Yes. HTS Watch lets you save HTS codes with country of origin and shipment value. We track rate changes and email you when something affecting your codes changes — including IEEPA refund eligibility. Free for up to 3 codes, unlimited on the Importer plan.
Does Tariffs API replace a customs broker?
No. Tariffs API gives you accurate rate data and landed-cost calculations, but does not file entries, issue binding classification rulings, or act as a customs broker. Use it for catalog pricing, compliance planning, and audit trails. Final classification and entry filing should go through a licensed customs broker.
Is this legal advice or a binding classification?
No. Data is for informational purposes. Final classification and duty determinations are made by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). For binding rulings, request a CBP ruling letter. We tell you what the schedule says — CBP tells you what applies to your specific entry.
Can I calculate tariffs programmatically?
Yes. GET /api/v1/tariffs/resolve takes an HTS code and country of origin and returns the base duty plus every applicable Chapter 99 measure with rates, effective dates, and confidence scores. Bulk endpoint handles up to 200 codes per request. Pass as_of to get historical rates. See /api-documentation.
How should I interpret the confidence score?
Every resolved measure includes a confidence score and a match type (exact, prefix, inherited). High confidence means the HTS code matched a measure directly. Medium or low means we inferred the match from a parent heading or a normalized variant — the JSON response includes attempted_candidates so you can verify. For anything low-confidence, cross-check with your broker or CBP.
