Our free tariff lookup tool works as a complete tariff finder and tariff search tool: enter a product and its destination, and it returns the duty rate that applies. Instead of manually reading through thousand-page tariff schedules, you get an instant duty rate lookup by country of origin and destination — useful for quoting landed costs, planning sourcing, and avoiding surprise charges at the border.
When you look up duty rates, you will encounter a few different tariff structures. Knowing them helps you read the results correctly:
| Tariff Type | How It Works | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Ad valorem | A percentage of the goods’ declared value | 5% on a $10,000 shipment = $500 |
| Specific | A fixed fee per unit, weight, or volume | $2 per kilogram |
| Compound | Combines an ad valorem and a specific rate | 4% of value + $1 per unit |
| Tariff-rate quota (TRQ) | A lower rate up to a set quantity, higher rate beyond it | 10% up to 1,000 tons, 25% above |
These three terms are related but not the same. The tariff is the published rate or schedule a government applies to a category of goods. The duty is the actual amount you pay, calculated by applying that tariff to your shipment. The HS code is the classification number that determines which tariff applies in the first place — so accurate classification is the starting point for any tariff lookup. You can find a product’s code first with our HS Code Lookup tool, then check its rate here.
It returns the duty rate a country applies to a given HS code. That is the number most people are missing, and it is the number that decides whether a shipment is worth making.
It does: look up duty and tax rates by product code and destination, across major trading countries, with no account and no cost.
It does not: classify your product for you, tell you which trade programme you qualify for, or produce a landed cost. It also cannot know whether your goods meet a rule of origin.
Treat the result as the base case. The final figure on your entry depends on the code being right, the origin being provable, and any trade remedies in force on the day the goods arrive.
Because the HS code is global and the rate is not. The first six digits of the code are the same everywhere, but every country sets its own duty on top of them.
Three things move the number:
This is why a rate you looked up last quarter is not a rate you can quote this quarter.
A US import duty is rarely one number. It is a base rate with additions, and a tariff lookup that only shows the base will understate what you pay.
Two shipments of the same product from two origins can therefore land at very different costs. If your sourcing is moving, the rate is the thing to check before the purchase order, not after.
Stop when the money at stake is larger than the cost of being sure. A rate lookup is research; an entry is a legal declaration, and the importer of record carries it.
Three situations are worth a conversation rather than another search. Your product could sit in two different headings and you cannot tell which. You are claiming a preferential rate and need the origin to hold up. Or an antidumping order may cover your supplier, which is a question about that specific exporter, not about the product.
Our customs compliance and trade compliance teams do this work daily, and our Importer of Record service takes the declaration on where you have no US entity.
It is a search tool that returns the duty and tax a country charges on a given product code. You enter an HS code or a product description and a destination, and it returns the rate that applies there.
Find the HS code first, then look up the rate for your destination. Our free HS code lookup tool returns the international six digits, and this tool takes it from there.
The HS code is the international classification for a traded product, and the first six digits are the same in every member country. It matters because the code, not the product name, is what the duty rate is attached to.
Base schedules change on a slow cycle, but trade remedies and agreement rates change much faster. Verify the rate close to shipment rather than relying on one you checked months ago.
Yes. It supports import duty lookups and export classification research across major trade lanes. The classification is the same either way; only the destination changes.
No. It is the duty rate, not a landed cost. Freight, insurance, brokerage, merchandise processing and any additional duties sit on top of it.
Because they classified the goods for their export country. The first six digits should match, but the remaining digits are set by the destination, and the liability for getting them right is the importer’s.
Describe it by material, function and form rather than by brand or model name. If it still does not resolve, our trade compliance team can classify it and advise on the rate and any exemptions.
