FAQ for this HTS code.

What is this HTS code?

This is a US Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) code that classifies "Soap; organic surface-active products and preparations for use as soap, in the form of bars, cakes, molded pieces or shapes, whether or not containing soap; organic surface-active products and preparations for washing the skin, in the form of liquid or cream and put up for retail sale, whether or not containing soap; paper, wadding, felt and nonwovens, impregnated, coated or covered with soap or detergent:". It determines base duty rates for imports; additional duties may apply by country of origin.

Does origin affect duty?

Yes. General and Special rates apply by trade agreement and origin. Additional duties (Section 301, 232, IEEPA) are origin-specific. Use the tariff calculator or resolve API with an origin to see full duty.

How do I compute total duty?

Use our tariff calculator (with HTS and optional origin) or the API endpoint GET /api/v1/tariffs/resolve with hts and origin. The API returns base tariffs and additional measures separately; sum as needed for your use case.
