HS codes and tariffs

Disambiguate a product into an HS code, then look up duties, taxes, remedies, non-tariff measures, and the all-in landed cost.

Classification comes first, because almost everything else — duties, shipment records, market signals — is keyed on the code.

Find the code

eximagent hscode search --query "cold-rolled stainless steel coils"

You get candidates, not a single verdict. Classification is a judgement with legal consequences, and the honest output is a shortlist with the reasoning attached.

Look up the duty

With a code in hand:

eximagent tariff --exporter VN --importer DE --product 720915

tariff is the first stop for duty rates. It reads structured tariff schedules and is free to run.

Go deeper than the headline rate

The headline duty is rarely the whole cost. For custom duties, taxes, trade remedies, and non-tariff measures:

eximagent trade lookup --type duties --exporter VN --importer DE --product 720915
eximagent trade lookup --type all --exporter VN --importer DE --product 720915

--type accepts duties, taxes, remedies, ntm, or all.

Preferential rates and landed cost

eximagent duty fta --exporter VN --importer DE --product 720915
eximagent landed cost --exporter VN --importer DE --product 720915
eximagent duty exposure --collectionId <id>

duty fta checks whether a trade agreement gives you a better rate than the most-favoured-nation one. landed cost builds the delivered figure. duty exposure runs the question across a whole collection at once.

Browsing the code tree

For reading rather than querying, the HS chapters, headings, and subheadings are published as a browsable reference on the EximAgent HS Codes site — linked from the header and footer of every page here.
