HTS

Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) is the United States comprehensive customs classification system for imported goods, extending the international Harmonized System (HS) with country-specific provisions. This 10-digit hierarchical code structure is mandatory for all US customs declarations and serves as the legal basis for determining applicable duties, taxes, trade restrictions, and regulatory requirements. The HTS is essential for importers, customs brokers, freight forwarders, and compliance professionals to ensure accurate classification and smooth customs clearance for goods entering the United States.
