HTS Bill gives U.S. importers a quick, unofficial HTS code lookup and duty estimate, including Section 301, before they
The Problem
People sourcing or shipping goods into the United States need a dollar figure for import duty before they quote a customer, source a product, or send a shipment file, but the U.S. tariff schedule is written in English at the 10-digit HTS level and is hard to navigate from a 6-digit HS code or a generic product description. Small importers and sellers often only have a rough product name and an origin country, and must otherwise work through the published schedule and separate Section 301 lists by hand to figure out what they actually owe. Getting this wrong, or sharing a wrong code with a factory or forwarder, creates costly confusion later since CBP ultimately decides the real classification and duty.
The Solution
HTS Bill lets a user type a product name, choose a country of origin, and enter a goods value in USD to get a set of candidate 10-digit HTS lines with an estimated duty, calculated from general duty rates plus applicable China Section 301 lists (9903.88.01, .02, .03, .15) matched on the 8-digit prefix. The tool explicitly separates what is counted, current USITC 10-digit lines with simple percentage or free rates and the listed Section 301 codes, from what is not, such as Section 232, IEEPA duties, product-specific exclusions, and non-percentage rates like cents per kilogram. Users can copy the HTS code, copy a short summary, or generate a read-only share link to send to a factory or forwarder, and the site also has a companion HS vs HTS comparison page for people who only start with a 6-digit HS code.
