Hi Product Hunt. I built HTSBase because finding the right customs code for a product is slow and easy to get wrong.
Since the U.S. ended the $800 de minimis exemption, almost every parcel needs a 10-digit HTS code. A wrong code means overpaid duty or a penalty. The official schedule is free, but it is long and written for tariff specialists, not for people who sell hoodies.
How it works: you describe the product in plain words. HTSBase reads the official USITC schedule, picks the 10-digit code and shows its reasoning. When a key detail is missing, like material or value per pair, it asks instead of guessing. Then it estimates the duty: base rate, Section 301 and 232, the 2026 forced labor duty, MPF and HMF.
New this week:
- EU support: the 8-digit CN code, the EU duty rate, the EUR 3 per item rule for low-value parcels and VAT by country
- 538 product pages, like htsbase.com/hs-code/hoodie, with codes and duty from China and Vietnam
- Free tools with no account: parcel duty calculator, tariff checker, CPSC eFiling check, CPC certificate generator and IEEPA refund estimator
Pricing: 10 free classifications a day. Pro is $49 a month for 1,000 a day, bulk CSV upload and rate change alerts. Business adds the API.
HTSBase is not a licensed customs broker. Results are guidance, and for complex entries a broker should review the code.
If a result looks wrong, reply here with the product description. That is the most useful feedback I can get.
