Terms of use

Not customs advice

HTS Index is a reference tool. Nothing here is legal, tax or customs advice, and no relationship of advisor and client is created by using it. Classification, valuation and entry are your responsibility or that of your licensed broker. The authoritative sources are the official HTS, CBP regulations and rulings, and CBP itself.

Accuracy

We republish the official schedule and take care not to alter rates. Even so, the data is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind. Rates change, chapters are amended, and additional duties are imposed outside the HTS columns. A rate shown here may be out of date at the moment you read it. Verify before you rely on it for an entry.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from use of this site, including duty assessments, penalties, interest, delayed shipments or lost profits.

Acceptable use

You may read, link to and quote this site freely. You may not scrape it at a rate that degrades service for others, resell it as your own dataset, or present its output as a binding classification. If you want the underlying data, take it from the USITC feed directly — it is public domain and better for everyone.

Data licensing

The underlying tariff data is a US Government work in the public domain. The page templates, derived statistics and calculator code are ours.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the site operator is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
