The $800 de minimis exemption is gone
Low-value parcels into the U.S. no longer enter duty-free. Every shipment needs a correct 10-digit HTS code, and a wrong one means underpaid duty or penalties.
Built on the official U.S. tariff schedule
Know the duty
before it ships.
HTSBase classifies your products to the 10-digit HTS code and calculates what you will pay at the U.S. border: base duty, Section 301 and 232 tariffs, fees, and trade agreement savings.

Questions
- Is HTSBase a customs broker?
- No. HTSBase gives you a researched classification and duty estimate. The importer of record is responsible for what is declared, and complex or high-value entries should be reviewed by a licensed broker.
- Where does the data come from?
- Rates and descriptions come directly from the Harmonized Tariff Schedule published by the U.S. International Trade Commission. Additional Section 232 and 301 duties are maintained as reviewed rules and flagged for confirmation.
- How accurate is the classification?
- Every answer comes with a confidence level, the reasoning, the alternatives it considered, and the facts that would change it. When a detail is missing, HTSBase asks instead of guessing.
- Which countries are supported?
- Imports into the United States from any country of origin today. European Union TARIC classification is next.
