Trade Guide

Use HS codes as review candidates, not final decisions.

HS classification depends on material, use, composition, and destination-country rules.

HS Code Notes

Review United States HS code candidates.

This deployment uses United States tariff references. Documents Dock can keep candidates and supporting evidence organized, but it does not automatically classify goods, provide a final HS classification, or issue customs rulings.

Review Checklist

01Start with the WCO 6-digit HS heading, then confirm the complete host-market code in the official resources below.

02Collect material, use, composition, model, function, and whether the item is a set, part, accessory, sample, or finished good.

03Do not treat supplier item names as final classification evidence. Ask a declaring agent or customs professional when the result affects duty, permits, or controls.

04Keep the chosen candidate aligned across CI, PL, certificates, permit applications, and declaration handoff notes.

United States Tariff Reference

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)

10 digits

HTSUS, revised through the current USITC edition

Confirm the 10-digit HTSUS line, then check whether additional Chapter 99 duties, partner-government-agency requirements, or origin-based measures attach to it. CBP determines the final classification, valuation, and duty — the importer of record is held to reasonable care.

Do not use this page as an automatic or final classification. Confirm the code, edition, duty treatment, and control requirements with the relevant customs authority, declaring agent, customs broker, or qualified professional.
