How this service works
United States import duty lookup from the USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule: HTS codes matching a code prefix or keyword with general, special and column-2 rates, units, and the duty amount for a customs value in USD when the general rate is ad valorem. US tariff only; no VAT, no other countries.
Output
Returns a list of matching HTS lines, each with the HTS code, product description, general rate, special rate (GSP/FTA), column-2 rate, units of measure, and — if a customs value in USD was provided and the general rate is ad valorem — the computed duty amount in USD. Also includes the query string, the USITC source URL, and the timestamp of the lookup.
Example use cases
Calculating landed cost for electronics import
“I'm importing $50,000 worth of LED diodes (HTS 8541.40.20) from China — what are the general, special, and column-2 US tariff rates, and what would my actual duty amount be?”
Checking duty-free status for clothing
“Is HTS code 6204.62.40 for women's denim trousers duty-free when imported into the US, or does a general rate apply? Look it up in the HTS schedule.”
Trade compliance research by keyword
“Search the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule for 'lithium batteries' and show me all matching HTS codes with their duty rates so I can figure out the right classification for my shipment.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.tradeenergy-api.workers.dev/api/logistics/customs-duty-calc?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need US-specific import duty rates from the official USITC HTS schedule, especially for ad valorem duty calculation on a known customs value. Prefer this over generic trade databases when you need authoritative US tariff data with general, special (FTA/GSP), and column-2 rates in one call. Not suitable for VAT lookup, non-US tariffs, or country-of-origin preferential rate analysis beyond what the HTS special rate column provides.
Side effects
- No matching HTS codes found for the given keyword or code prefix — returns empty lines array
- Invalid or malformed HTS code format — may return no results
- Duty amount not computed if general rate is not ad valorem (e.g. 'Free' or specific rates like '$0.15/kg')
- USITC upstream service unavailable — may return HTTP 5xx or timeout
- Customs value not provided — duty amount will be absent even for ad valorem rates
