Done-for-you research · US importers
Your product’s full tariff bill, worked out by hand. $39. In your inbox within 24 hours.
Tell us what you import, what it is made of, where it is made, and what it is worth. We classify it under the US tariff schedule, stack every duty layer currently in force, and send you a short report: the code, every charge, the dollar total, and the ruling that backs the classification.
Read this first — the honest part.
This is a research service, not a licensed customs broker. The final duty on any shipment is decided by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at entry, and rates change often — always confirm the current schedule with your broker before you ship. We do not file entries, we do not guarantee CBP will agree with a classification, and the $39 pays for the research, not for a promise about what CBP will charge.
What you get
- The 10-digit HTS code for your product — and the reasoning, in plain words: what it is made of, what it does, and why it lands in that line and not the one next to it.
- Every duty layer stacked — the base (MFN) rate, Section 301 duties, Section 232 if it covers your product, and an anti-dumping/countervailing duty check — each with its rate, its Chapter 99 heading where one applies, and its dollar amount on your value.
- Government fees — the merchandise processing fee and, for ocean freight, the harbor maintenance fee, so the total is the real total.
- A CBP ruling precedent — a published ruling on a product close to yours, with its number, so you can see the classification is not a guess.
- Measures checked that do not apply — so you know what was ruled out, and why.
- Delivered by email within 24 hours of payment, as a PDF you can keep.
Sample report
This is a real sample, made November 16, 2026, for an example product: a men’s cotton knit T-shirt, 100% cotton, made in China, customs value $10,000, ocean freight, formal entry. Your report covers your product, in the same format.
Sample · checked November 16, 2026
Men’s cotton knit T-shirt — made in China — $10,000
HTS 6109.10.00 (men’s: 6109.10.00.12) — T-shirts, singlets, tank tops and similar garments, knitted or crocheted, of cotton. Classification reasoning: knitted fabric puts it in Chapter 61; a T-shirt puts it in heading 6109; 100% cotton puts it in subheading 6109.10.
| Charge | Rate | Amount |
|---|
| Base duty (MFN), HTS 6109.10.00 | 16.5% | $1,650.00 |
| Section 301, List 4A — HTS 9903.88.15 | 7.5% | $750.00 |
| Section 301 forced-labor action — HTS 9903.05.31, in force since July 24, 2026 | 12.5% | $1,250.00 |
| Merchandise processing fee (formal entry, FY2027) | 0.3464% | $34.64 |
| Harbor maintenance fee (ocean freight) | 0.125% | $12.50 |
| Total government charges | 36.5% duty + fees | $3,697.14 |
Precedent: CBP ruling NY N009437 classified a 100% cotton knit T-shirt from China under 6109.10.0012 at 16.5%. Duty is charged on customs value (transaction value, excluding international freight and insurance).
Checked and not applied to this product: IEEPA “fentanyl” and reciprocal tariffs (ended February 2026, after the Supreme Court held IEEPA does not authorize tariffs) · Section 122 10% surcharge (expired July 24, 2026) · Section 232 duties (they cover steel, aluminum, autos, furniture and other named sectors — not apparel) · de minimis duty-free entry (not available for goods made in China — every shipment needs an entry). We list these so you know what was ruled out, and why.
