For U.S. importers
When did anyone last check your HTS codes?
Most classifications were set by your supplier when the product launched, and never reviewed. HTSCheck manually checks up to 10 of your SKUs against the current tariff schedule and CBP rulings, then sends you a one-page findings report. Free.
Free. No call. No pitch. Report in 2-3 business days.
Why this matters now
Classification problems are usually quiet, until they aren’t.
Codes go stale
Most classifications were set when a product launched, often by the supplier, and never reviewed. Materials, designs, and sourcing change. Codes often don’t.
Small errors compound
An incorrect HTS code can mean overpaid duties on every shipment, or CBP scrutiny if the error runs the other way. Either direction costs money.
The rules are shifting
CBP procedures are changing, and the October 22 compliance deadline makes reviewing affected shipments timely rather than theoretical.
What the free review covers
Send up to 10 SKUs or shipment types. For each one, we look at:
- Current HTS codeWhat you’re filing under today, if you have it.
- Product descriptionWhat the item actually is, in plain terms.
- Country of originWhere it’s made and where it ships from.
- Shipment methodPostal, courier, air, or ocean. It affects entry treatment.
- Classification ambiguityWhere the code isn’t clear-cut and why.
- Alternative classificationsOther codes that could plausibly apply.
- Duty & compliance flagsRate differences between candidates and entry-treatment issues.
- Source referencesThe official tariff and ruling sources behind each finding.

Get your findings report
Potential issues, alternative codes, and flags, written to hand directly to your broker for verification.
What happens after you submit
- Same day: we confirm receipt and tell you exactly when to expect the report.
- Days 1-2: manual review against the current HTS and CBP rulings.
- Day 2-3: your findings report arrives by email, ready for your broker.
Who it’s for
If you file entries on physical products and your codes haven’t been reviewed recently, this is for you.
How we work
Trust comes from showing the work, not from claims about it.
Official sources
Reviews reference the current U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule and CBP rulings and guidance. Every finding cites its sources.
Ambiguity is labeled
When a classification isn’t clear-cut, the finding says so explicitly and points you to broker verification, never presented as a final answer.
Manual review
Each SKU is reviewed by a person against current sources. Findings reflect judgment, with the reasoning shown.
Not a broker, not legal advice
HTSCheck does not file entries, represent importers before CBP, or provide legal advice, and does not replace your licensed customs broker. Findings are a starting point for their verification.
Questions importers ask
