The Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) is the United States' classification system for all imported goods. Maintained by the US International Trade Commission (USITC), it assigns a 10-digit code to every product entering US commerce. The first six digits follow the international Harmonized System (HS) used by 200+ countries, while digits 7-8 are US-specific subheadings and digits 9-10 are statistical suffixes.
Each HTS code determines the duty rate an importer must pay, any applicable trade program eligibility (such as USMCA or GSP), and whether special tariffs like Section 301 or Section 232 duties apply. Customs brokers, importers, and compliance professionals use HTS codes on every entry summary filed with US Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
HTS classification rulings issued by CBP provide binding guidance on how specific products should be classified. The General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) establish the legal framework for determining the correct heading when a product could fall under multiple codes.
