Describe a product in plain words. HTSBase returns the 10-digit U.S. HTS code with its reasoning and the full duty, plus the EU code, duty and VAT. Free API key and MCP server for developers and AI agents.
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
