# US Import Tariff Estimator by HTS Code

> US Import Tariff Estimator by HTS Code is a paid API for AI agents from payai.agentstools.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.03/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Estimates the effective US import duty rate for a given HTS code and country of origin, including base MFN/FTA rates and trade-war surcharges (Section 301, 232, IEEPA), plus optional landed-cost calculation.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability us-import-tariff-estimator-by-hts-code-5b65e0aa
```

Example prompt: What's the total effective US import duty rate for HTS code 8471.30.0100 on goods coming from China (CN), and if my customs value is $10,000, what would the landed cost look like?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a detailed breakdown of the full US effective import duty rate — not just the base MFN rate — especially for imports from China or other countries subject to Section 301, Section 232, or IEEPA tariff layers. Ideal for trade compliance, sourcing decisions, landed-cost modeling, and supply chain analysis where knowing the total tariff burden (including trade-war surcharges) is critical.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized HTS code returns an error or empty result
- Unsupported or unknown ISO country code returns a validation error
- HTS code length outside 4-10 digits rejected
- Missing required query parameters (hts or origin) returns 400-level error
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC not available or insufficient balance

## How this service works

Estimate the effective US import duty for one HTS code from one origin country. Returns the base rate (MFN or FTA), the additional trade-war layers (Section 301, Section 232, IEEPA) with their Chapter 99 provisions, the combined effective rate, and an optional landed-cost estimate.

## Output

Returns the base tariff rate (MFN or FTA rate if applicable), individual trade-war surcharge rates for Section 301, Section 232, and IEEPA with their associated Chapter 99 HTS provisions, the combined effective duty rate as a percentage, and optionally a landed-cost dollar estimate if a customs value was provided.
